Lead the development of a standardised reporting architecture, ensuring consistency, clarity, and usability across all business intelligence outputs. Collaborate with colleagues in planning, performance, and IT to build scalable, efficient solutions that meet evolving business needs. Support the development of regular reporting cycles and deep-dive analysis across key areas such as recruitment, admissions, student progression, and outcomes. Champion best practice in data visualisation, automation, and user engagement, helping to embed a culture of evidence-based decision-making.

You'll bring:

Strong experience in Tableau development, including dashboard design, data modelling, and platform administration. A track record of delivering insight through visual analytics and reporting tools. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex data into clear, compelling stories for a range of audiences. A collaborative mindset, with the confidence to engage stakeholders and influence decision-making. A keen eye for detail and a commitment to quality, innovation, and continuous improvement.
