About Us

UCL is a world-leading teaching and research university, consistently ranked among the top ten globally, with an annual turnover exceeding £1 billion. UCL's mission is to address global challenges through cutting-edge research, innovation, and education.

The Information Services Division (ISD) is the primary provider of IT services to UCL. We support and enhance learning, teaching, research and administrative processes by providing information- and technology-related services to over 50,000 staff and students of UCL and associated institutions

Our ambition is to be the leading IT services group in the HE sector and we are growing our team’s capability in experience/UX, agile development, security, cloud, service management and partnering.

• Experience with Microsoft Fabric (Data Factory, Synapse, Lakehouse) and Microsoft Purview.
• Deep understanding of CRM data models (Salesforce, Dynamics) and enterprise data architectures.
• Hands-on experience with Power BI (DAX, Power Query) and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS).
• Knowledge of data governance, security, and compliance frameworks.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence at all levels.
• Experience leading BI projects, mentoring teams, and driving best practices.
  
  

Desirable Skills

• Experience with Azure Data Services (Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Synapse).
• Familiarity with AI-driven analytics and predictive modeling.
• Understanding of higher education data management (HESA, Heidi Plus, student analytics).
• Exposure to Python, R, or machine learning frameworks for advanced analytics.
