£40,000 - £45,000

Full-time, Permanent

UA92 Campus, Manchester

Hours: 37.5 hours per week

At UA92, we do things differently. We’re reimagining higher education to develop work-ready graduates with both academic knowledge and real-world skills. We’re looking for a strategic and analytical leader to join us as Data and Strategic Insights Manager, a critical role for our future growth and student success.

If you believe data can transform outcomes and you're ready to lead high-impact insight strategies in an agile and ambitious environment, this could be your next move.

About The Role

As Data and Strategic Insights Manager, you’ll provide institution-wide leadership on internal data reporting and student system development. You will lead the collection, validation, and submission of statutory student data returns (e.g. HESA, OfS, HESES), ensuring accuracy, compliance, and institutional readiness for future independent reporting.

Your insights will shape key strategies around student recruitment, retention, success, and progression, helping us deliver excellent experiences and outcomes for all learners.

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead the design and delivery of internal data reports and dashboards to inform strategic decision-making. Oversee all aspects of statutory student data returns and regulatory submissions. Work in partnership with Lancaster University and internal teams to maintain data accuracy and compliance. Develop and deliver a roadmap for student systems that supports self-service, automation, and digital transformation. Provide detailed analysis on OfS performance indicators (continuation, progression, completion) to inform student success strategies. Partner with teams across UA92 to evaluate the impact of interventions and drive continuous improvement.

What We’re Looking For

Significant experience working with student data and regulatory returns in higher education. Deep knowledge of HESA, OfS, HESES and associated data requirements. Strong skills in data analysis, dashboard development (e.g. Power BI), and information governance. Experience leading systems improvements and managing complex data workflows. Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills. A problem-solving mindset, high attention to detail, and a passion for using data to drive institutional success.
