## Description

If you're the kind of person who looks at disconnected systems, manual processes and complex reporting challenges and immediately starts thinking about how to make them better, this could be your next move.

At Orbital South Colleges Group, we're looking for a strategic and forward-thinking Head of MIS - Systems and Reporting to lead the development of our systems, reporting infrastructure and digital platforms across East Surrey College and John Ruskin College.

This is more than a traditional MIS role. You'll be responsible for shaping how data, systems and technology work together across the organisation, ensuring leaders have the information they need to make informed decisions whilst maintaining compliance with funding, audit, safeguarding and regulatory requirements.

You'll lead the strategic oversight of all College systems, including student records, HR, finance, payroll, timetabling, digital platforms and SharePoint. Working closely with senior leaders, you'll drive systems integration, digital transformation and reporting improvements, develop business intelligence solutions, implement workflow automation and support the adoption of technologies that improve efficiency and user experience.

You'll also ensure our systems remain secure, compliant and capable of delivering accurate data to support funding, performance management, safeguarding and organisational decision-making.
