• Support development, monitoring and evaluation of Imperial’s APP, including preparation of the annual report;
• Support preparation of Imperial’s TEF submissions, with expert understanding of operational details and metrics;
• Analyse student survey outcomes (e.g. NSS), prepare dashboards and disseminate findings (e.g. papers and presentations);
• Prepare briefings and analyses.
What we are looking for:
• Experience analysing complex datasets and summarising themes, including in written documents, with the ability to interpret and explain complicated information and data
• Knowledge of the principal data sources used in Higher Education, particularly related to the student lifecycle
• High degree of computer competency, including spreadsheets
• Experience of data visualisation tools (e.g. PowerBI)
• Excellent report writing and presentation skills
• Accuracy and attention to detail in written and analytical work
• Good interpersonal and negotiation skills
• Strong organisation and prioritisation skills to meet deadlines on multiple tasks concurrently
• Ability to work flexibly, scoping work from broad briefs and adapting to changing direction
• Ability to work on own initiative
• Able to demonstrate knowledge and interest in the Higher Education sector
What we can offer you:
• The opportunity to continue your career at a world-leading institution, with access to an excellent professional development programme
• Sector-leading salary and remuneration package (including 39 days off a year)
