Job description

Overview

Our Performance and Analytics (P&A) team works at the very heart of UWE Bristol. We provide a reporting, analysis and insight service covering all aspects of the student, staff and research journeys. Our reputation is founded on an ability to understand and relate to our colleges and professional services. We are fair, impartial and honest in our approach to delivering these activities. Our people are critical. Technical skills and business experience can be acquired, but P&A team members must be able to communicate, empathise and think creatively to be truly effective in their roles.

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Business Intelligence Analyst to design, build and present analytical reporting to colleagues across the University, including the Vice Chancellor’s senior management team, and all our colleges and services. We’re looking for candidates who can analyse and visualise data and communicate findings to these audiences.

The provision of management information in Higher Education is an essential element in decision-making processes that allow institutions to plan for the future, optimise resources and be competitive in an adapting market. Our P&A team at UWE Bristol play a big part in facilitating the achievement of the University’s strategic goals by adding value to decision making processes across the institution.

Responsibilities

• Extracting and interpreting data
• Handling and manipulating large datasets
• Delivering management information reports and analysis to a variety of end-users
• Communicating complex technical data to non-technical audiences
• Maintaining relationships with key colleagues

To succeed in this role you will

• Have experience working with datasets to analyse and interpret findings
• Have high-level Excel knowledge as well as excellent all round IT skills
• Have experience using a data visualisation platform (such as Power BI, Tableau or Business Objects)
• Be able to collaborate with partners and customers utilising strong written and verbal communication skills
• Be able to build and maintain positive working relationships with a range of partners and customers

Additional information

It’s difficult to describe all aspects of the job role and team culture so we’d love for you to get in touch for an informal chat. These conversations will not have any bearing on subsequent recruitment decisions, but we can hopefully fill in some of the blanks, share some insight and bring to life what it’s like to work for P&A and UWE Bristol.

We aim to design a recruitment process which is fair, informal (as far as possible!) and that honestly explores the skills and characteristics required to succeed in P&A. Our recruitment process is dynamic and interactive. It’s just as important for you to choose us as it is for us to choose you.

Working location

UWE Bristol is a campus-based University, with vibrant campus communities that are central to student life. In this role, you’ll be based at our modern Frenchay Campus where we’ve invested in state-of-the-art facilities designed to help both staff and students succeed. You’ll spend most of your time on campus, with the opportunity to work from home on the remaining days as agreed with your people manager.

Why UWE Bristol?

We offer a wide range of employee benefits including progressive pay rates, very generous annual leave and career average pension schemes as well as retail savings, onsite nursery and opportunities for training and personal development.
