Student Data and Systems Technical Lead (Engagement)

About us: The Student Data and Systems (SDS) service supports learning and teaching at UWE and helps enhance the student experience.

The SDS community works together to join up our various business and system areas so that we do not work in siloes but contribute to a “Team UWE” approach to stewarding our student data. This new role will sit alongside our colleagues in Student and Academic Services, and champion ways in which we can use data about engagement to better target support for our students. You will work closely with other colleagues in SDS who look after the systems, and with our software suppliers, developing new insights and ways in which we can support all of students to success. If you are interested in how data can be creatively used, this could be the right role for you.

About you: You will bring your experience of delivering a data or reporting service in a complex organisation, along with a strong ability to provide information stewardship and compliance, prioritising the workload to ensure deadlines are met and that service enhancement is at the core of the team’s endeavours. In this role, you will be instrumental in delivering a reporting service, and using your strong analytical and solution-focused skills, exploring ways in which you can contribute to the wider student data governance agenda.

Working with internal and external stakeholders, you will be an excellent communicator who is able to build productive working relationships and work collaboratively to support the delivery of our services.
