Working closely with Heads of Programme, academic leaders and professional services colleagues, you will ensure that academic workload information is accurate, up to date and trusted across the organisation.

You'll also work closely with the Data & Insights Manager to ensure data is accurate, consistent and maintained to a high standard across the Institute, supporting improvements to data recording, reporting and quality assurance.

This is an exciting opportunity to establish a key planning function within the Institute, providing high-quality management information that supports strategic decision-making, financial sustainability and regulatory compliance.

• Experience managing complex datasets.
• Outstanding attention to detail.
• Confidence working with senior colleagues.
• A collaborative and solution-focused approach.
