About you

We are seeking a proactive, highly motivated and extremely organised individual, with a 'can-do' attitude to join our close-knit team. Your experience will ensure you have the ability to prioritise, meet deadlines under pressure and manage multiple tasks - switching between them as required with ease, whilst maintaining accuracy. You will be committed to providing exceptional customer service at all times, even during busy periods.

You will have excellent data analysis skills, liaising with a wide variety of stakeholders such as external agencies, alumni, students and staff, to facilitate the successful delivery of projects and will develop strong working relationships with colleagues. You will use Excel, Outlook, Teams and Sharepoint daily and will be able to quickly assimilate an understanding of the systems we use, such as our careers platforms and Power BI. Excellent IT skills are therefore essential.

The post holder will actively seek to contribute to team discussions, help find solutions to challenges and make suggestions for improvements. You will be confident making decisions and working independently but will be a team player, working collaboratively with colleagues.    

The ideal candidate will have previous experience of working in a Higher Education setting. Familiarity delivering data projects would be advantageous but full training will be given. The post holder will undertake supervision of student staff and support our wider team of student staff, so previous experience of this would be desirable.
