Specifically, the Research Analyst will contribute the majority of their time to supporting the Vouchers 4 Veggies - EatSF program, a nationally recognized healthy food benefit program, that has rapidly scaled, in large part due to a robust evaluation and consistently positive outcomes, to now serve thousands of eligible households in San Francisco annually and is being replicated across varying geographic locations across the US. Program maintenance and growth requires that complex systems be developed and strategically put in place to track, monitor, and report key operational and fiscal aspects of the program. In addition, technologic advancements, such as electronic benefit cards, are needed to support further scaling and integration into large systems, such as healthcare. The incumbent will play a lead role in supporting and improving key data management and reporting systems for Vouchers 4 Veggies, with specific responsibilities including:

- Assist with tracking and financial management of the vouchers/cards and ensures fiscal accountability through reconciliation of financial records, working closely with internal and external stakeholders to report financial activities.
- Prepare monthly financial reports for funders detailing voucher expenditures and funds remaining.

- Conducting a needs assessment to assess the landscape of existing produce benefit card companies and identify which platforms are best suited for our needs
- Developing and/or streamlining the back-end systems needed to integrate the new card technology
- Conducting of real-world, in-time testing to ensure feasibility of card technology and integration of associated electronic platforms
