The Institutional Data Analyst will support data-informed decision-making by collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting institutional information to leaders and departments throughout the organization.

This individual will develop reports, dashboards, and visualizations supporting strategic planning, operational effectiveness, compliance requirements, and student-success initiatives.

 * Develop recurring and ad hoc reports for organizational leadership and departmental stakeholders.
 * Build dashboards and data visualizations that make complex information easier to understand and act upon.
 * Support strategic planning, operational effectiveness, and organizational decision-making.
 * Maintain the integrity, consistency, accuracy, and usability of data across systems.
 * Partner with academic, administrative, student-services, financial-aid, and other internal departments.
 * Support regulatory and institutional reporting requirements.
 * Perform ad hoc analysis in response to evolving organizational questions.
 * Assist with data governance and reporting improvements.
 * Support an environment undergoing significant technology modernization and cloud migration.
 * Identify opportunities to improve or automate reporting and data processes.
 * Manage multiple priorities and projects while meeting established deadlines.
