ABOUT WELLO

Wello’s mission is to co-create community conditions that are fair and just to drive high levels of health and well-being for all. Established in 2010, Wello focuses on building authentic relationships that create trusting, action-oriented spaces for change. We value diverse experiences and perspectives, believe in centering community voice in improvement efforts, and are committed to working collaboratively with partners from across our Greater Green Bay community to address root-causes of poor health and well-being. Our work was recognized nationally, in partnership with the City of Green Bay, as a 2021 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Culture of Health Prize Finalist and by the National League of Cities as innovators in holistic measures of resident well-being.

POSITION DESCRIPTION

Wello has an exciting opportunity for a passionate, community-minded, and innovative professional to join our growing team as the Data and Evaluation Manager. This is a newly created position within Wello and reports directly to the Executive Director.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Wello established Brown County, Wisconsin’s first measure of subjective resident health and well-being by launching a countywide survey, panel study, and ground-truthing efforts in 2019. We now have two sets of survey data (2019, 2021), an active panel study, and learnings from multiple ground-truthing approaches including a National Science Foundation project on how to activate real-time, data mapping feedback loops with residents. The next iteration of our evaluation work builds upon these successes to drive innovation in the ways we co-create well-being at a community level. The Data and Evaluation Manager will be responsible for:

●   Helping best leverage our local data ecosystem to drive positive outcomes. This will include championing our GIS capabilities utilizing Esri mapping software to drive population-level health and well-being improvements and supporting the development of strong evaluative approaches for our grants, projects and initiatives.
