An opportunity has arisen within the Planning and Student Management Information team to support the achievement of the Aston Strategy 2018 to 2023, by providing professional advice and a responsive, high quality, information, analysis and planning service. The post will support in providing high quality management information reporting, producing timely and high-quality analysis, and will work closely with Senior Management, Academic Colleges and a range of professional support staff, both within Aston and across the sector, in order to ensure that the data and reporting needs of the University are met. The post holder will also support the data and reporting needs of high profile statutory workstreams including the HESA Student Return, the Higher Education Students Early Statistics Return, and the Unistats return. You will provide support to the team and wider colleagues across the University as readiness preparations are undertaken for the Data Futures sector-wide transformation programme.

The successful candidate will be an advanced user of data records and management information systems, with experience of working with Business Intelligence Tools and data visualisation.
