The ideal candidate has experience working with client management systems or program databases, preferably with a focus on housing and/or property management and is comfortable managing recurring reports for government and institutional funders. This role plays a critical part in helping NHSNYC demonstrate impact, maintain compliance, and support informed decision-making across departments.
