Duties and responsibilities, as they align to Ryan’s Key Results

People

Client

• Researching state property tax information
• When we decide to begin working in a new state, the Coordinator, Data Acquisition contacts every assessor and collector to learn about their property tax process & timeline.
• The requests for new states will essentially be blank, and the Coordinator will call/email the necessary entity within the state to get information about requesting the data.
• Managing projects
• Each year and request type (assessments, bills, etc.) is considered a “project”.
• The Data Coordinator will “own” a project and determine how to obtain the data for each entity (assessor or collector).
• The tasks for each project must be updated, maintained, and worked until completion.
• Requesting data for established states
• For states worked previously, the request information will carry forward from the prior year, giving a starting point.
