Senior Advisor, Data Systems & Analytics

Introduction

The Midwives Association of British Columbia (MABC) invites Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from qualified consultants to deliver a time-limited data systems and analytics project that will strengthen MABC’s ability to monitor, evaluate, and steward Midwifery Main Agreement (MMA)-funded programs and related system initiatives.

This engagement is focused on program utilization, implementation, and evidence generation to support accountable delivery of MMA-funded work, broader system learning, and organizational decision-making.

This EOI is issued to identify consultants with the expertise to complete the project. Submission of an EOI does not create any contractual obligations for MABC.

MABC seeks a contractor to serve as Senior Advisor, Data Systems & Analytics (Health Systems), responsible for designing and operationalizing the data capabilities needed to:

• Monitor utilization, reach, and outcomes of MMA-funded programs;
• Support implementation oversight and continuous improvement of MMA-funded initiatives;
• Develop standardized program reporting and administrative analytics;
• Transform membership and program data into workforce and service delivery intelligence;
• Strengthen MABC’s internal evidence base for system planning, accountability, and learning.

This role is designed to support program administration, oversight, and learning functions typically funded through MMA administrative allocations.

MABC anticipates that the project can reasonably be completed within approximately 9 months, depending on the consultant’s approach. Respondents may propose an alternate timeline within this general window.
