[Hiring] Data Systems & Infrastructure Advisory Consultant @Cicatelli Associates Inc

Role Description

CAI is seeking a Consultant to support its HRSA-funded National Technical Assistance Program for Clinical and Preventive Excellence (NTAP) by advising on the evaluation, selection, and planning of a participant-facing “learning hub” system to support NTAP’s national webinars, Communities of Practice (CoPs), and outcomes-focused cohorts. The learning hub is intended to provide:

• A central resource/document library
• Registration for CoP and cohort activities
• Participant data upload and trend visualization
• Communication between health centers and CAI staff
• A mechanism for requesting technical assistance
• Recurring TA/session evaluation surveys

This is an advisory-only consultant role:

• The Consultant will assess options, costs, and infrastructure considerations and make recommendations.
• Where feasible, the Consultant will work with us in the next phase of system development.
• The Consultant will work closely with the NTAP team and CAI’s data systems staff.
• Limited, read-only access to CAI’s existing systems will be provided as needed to evaluate current capacity against program requirements.

Anticipated consultancy to run through April 2027, with possibility of extension.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience advising on the selection, design, or implementation of learning management systems (LMS), training management systems (TMS), or community/engagement platforms, ideally in a nonprofit, public health, or health care context.
• UX/UI expertise, with experience evaluating platforms for usability by a broad, external, non-technical healthcare audience.
• Experience with data systems architecture and integration, including API-based data flows between platforms.
• Familiarity with business intelligence/data visualization tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) and their integration into external-facing platforms.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience producing clear recommendations and roadmaps for non-technical audiences.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively with a remote team.

Requirements

• Familiarity with low-code data platforms, including their capabilities and limitations as participant-facing (vs. internal) systems.
• Experience with community/engagement platforms designed for external, multi-organization audiences.
• Experience with learning management systems (LMS) or training management systems (TMS).
• Familiarity with HRSA Health Center Program requirements or national technical assistance program structures.
• Experience advising nonprofit or public health organizations on technology cost modeling and vendor selection.

Use of AI Tools

CAI welcomes the responsible use of AI tools to support efficiency (e.g., drafting documentation, organizing platform comparisons, summarizing vendor materials). However, the Consultant is expected to:

• Personally evaluate candidate systems, verify vendor claims and costs directly, and apply their own professional judgment in developing recommendations.
• Ensure that AI-generated content is not used as a substitute for direct evaluation.
• Be responsible for the accuracy of all deliverables, including verifying that cost estimates, platform capabilities, and technical claims are current and correct.
• Disclose how AI tools were used in producing each deliverable.
