About the role

Building an exciting future on the strongest of foundations - that is what this pivotal role at the University of Leicester is all about. Drawing on all of your expertise in data and the digital, you will lead and manage two teams that are at the heart of our onward journey: Reporting & Insight, and Planning, Governance & Assurance.

We will look to you to drive the provision of data-driven strategic insight of the highest quality, which will inform key organisational decision-making. Enhancing our capabilities and capacity for business insight and the provision of management information, you will forge a business strategy that improves both data quality and data literacy across the University. Crucially, you will be accountable for the provision of returns and data to a host of external organisations - from the Office for Students and HESA, to league table compilers. As leader and manager of our planning and governance services, you will direct a host of activities ranging from student number planning and forecasting, to the ongoing development of KPIs and risk management.

 

About you

You will bring to the role proven experience of leading and influencing strategic planning processes in a complex, multi-stakeholder environment. A demonstrable ability to develop strategic business insight and management information services within a large and changing organisation is vital. Impressively data literate, you have what it takes to connect data trends to our organisational strategy. Your skills in leading, communicating with and influencing people are every bit as important as your talent for strategic analysis.

We look forward to receiving your application.
