## About the Role

Experience working within Higher or Further Education in data, planning or a related role is essential, alongside a strong understanding of the regulatory environment and statutory reporting requirements, particularly HESA and OfS.

You'll be confident working with student record systems and large, complex datasets, with the technical ability to analyse, manipulate and visualise information using tools such as Excel and Power BI. Experience of statutory returns and transferring data into XML or equivalent formats will also be important.

You'll need to be curious about what the data is telling us and confident enough to ask the next question. You'll be able to take complex information and turn it into something meaningful for different audiences from academic colleagues exploring student outcomes to senior leaders making institutional decisions.

You'll be educated to degree level, or bring equivalent professional qualifications or relevant experience within Computer Science, Data Analysis or a related area. A relevant Master's qualification would be welcomed but isn't essential.

## Description

Sitting within Registry and working closely with academic and professional services colleagues, this is a key role at the heart of how UA92 understands and uses its student data.

You'll lead our institutional approach to student data and reporting, with a particular focus on the measures that matter across higher education - continuation, completion, progression, student success and academic performance.

You'll interrogate the data behind those measures, identify patterns and trends and translate them into clear insight for colleagues and senior leaders. Whether looking at performance across teaching blocks, student demographics, attendance, enrolment or progression, you'll help us move beyond reporting what has happened to understand what it means and where we should focus next.

There's also an important regulatory dimension. Working closely with Lancaster University, you'll oversee the preparation and quality assurance of student data supporting statutory and regulatory returns, including HESA, OfS, HESES, Student Finance and UKVI.

As UA92 continues to develop, you'll help shape our student systems roadmap and build our capability to independently manage statutory returns. You'll also develop reporting and Power BI dashboards that put useful, accessible information into the hands of academic and professional services teams.
