Social Research Scientist (WMS Band 2)
Office of Policy, Planning, and Evaluation
Tumwater, WA
DOH6300

Our ideal candidate has a driving passion for the work, brings humility to their job and interactions, and understands how their actions affect others. They see the needs and objectives of others and take them into account while achieving their own objectives, and they adapt their approach and expectations accordingly.

Our ideal candidate strives for engagement and partnership, even when confronted with others who are not open or collaborative. They are nimble and adaptive when faced with resistance, demonstrate resilience, and can have courageous conversations when needed.

The Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation (OPPE) strives to improve health through policy development, implementation, and evaluation. The principles of health equity, engagement, and innovation guide our work.

We convene, lead, and support efforts internally to the agency and externally with Tribes, partners and others at the local, state and federal level in alignment with agency, Governor, and community-influenced priorities. Policy research, design, and advancement is integral to our work.

Reporting to the Deputy Secretary of Policy, Planning, and Evaluation, our Social Research Scientist works collaboratively with internal and external partners.

Duties include:
Design evaluation plans and implement evaluations with community, government, and other partners, including identifying methods to answer evaluation questions.
Implement mixed-method evaluations, including conducting focus groups, key informant interviews, surveys, and other methods.
Disseminate and share results with agency colleagues, community partners, and policymakers to facilitate learning.
Manage projects efficiently in an environment of shifting priorities with time and budget constraints.
Conduct qualitative and practical research.
Develop a comprehensive strategic evaluation plan that identifies and prioritizes evaluation activities to be completed.
Develop and implement individual evaluation plans for prioritized initiatives that align with agency priorities.
Create review processes to evaluate the effectiveness of programs by developing feedback methods, conducting user interviews and recording results for evaluation.
When we talk to our Social Research Scientist about their values, they’ll see themselves in words like Human-Centered, Partnership, Equity, and Excellence. They’ll also see in these words a challenge to improve—personally and organizationally—in pursuit of a better impact on people and better business outcomes.

When we ask others about them, they’ll describe a person of remarkable capability, diligence, and focus. They’ll tell us about someone who:

Sees and understands the objectives and challenges of people they work with and people they impact.
Makes adjustments to what they’re doing based on what they learn.
Holds themselves accountable for actually helping those around them succeed, as well as achieving their own business results.
It takes personal courage, tenacity, and humility to achieve big things in this way. Our ideal candidates probably wonder whether they’re up to this challenge. But they want to take it on because they’re hungry for personal growth and hungry to help build this kind of business, team, and workplace culture at the Department of Health.
