Junior analyst Jobs in Thousand Oaks, CA

The Los Angeles County AAIMM Prevention Initiative is a coalition of the Los Angeles County Departments of Public Health, Health Services, and Mental Health, First 5 LA, community organizations, mental and health care providers, funders, and community members. We are united in one purpose : to address the unacceptably high rates of Black infant and maternal deaths in the county and ensure healthy and joyous births for Black families. Through a series of comprehensive coordinated strategies, we aim to reduce the county's gap in Black / White infant mortality rates.

The AAIMM Initiative approaches its work from a frame that the root cause of the mortality disparity is the stress caused by a Black person's exposure to racism and the impact of that stress on a Black woman / birthing person's body, compounded by structures in society that perpetuate racism, and the presence of implicit and overt bias in the systems of support that interact with Black families.

The AAIMM Initiative is seeking an Assistant Health Analyst (Policy Analyst) . This position will report to the Perinatal Equity Initiative (PEI) Program Manager. The Assistant Health Analyst is responsible for helping to develop and implement the policy priorities and platform of the AAIMM Prevention Initiative. This includes Policy and budget advocacy and analysis; relationship development with policymakers, county legislative departments / units, key stakeholders, media, and the community to advance policy priorities; and campaign and coalition management.
