The Strategic Projects area of the Analysis and Research team is responsible for answering the most substantial and difficult questions at the heart of connecting people to higher education such as: Why do people to apply to higher education? How do applicants choose courses, and how do institutions choose applicants? Are these the right choices?
Over the past year, analysis from this section has enabled us to answer key questions around the recent changes in higher education, including what effect recent changes in tuition fees and student number controls have had. These two new roles are to further strengthen this area with a particular focus on the workings of the admission process itself and its outcomes for both applicants and institutions.
As the Senior Principal Analyst in this area you will be a senior experienced professional with outstanding technical skills and a record of designing and executing major new analysis that directly addresses customer needs. You will play a major part in furthering the team’s reputation for excellence through high quality, relevant and influential analysis, and take responsibility for improving the depth and reach of analytical work across the team.
As Principal Analyst you have high level of technical expertise and will work closely with colleagues in executing demanding analytical projects to achieve clear outcomes. You will guide other analysts and be active in sharing data, methods and insights across the team.
Both role holders will be known for their ability to write and present persuasively about their analysis. Full details of responsibilities and skills required are in the role profiles.
