As the successful candidate, you will be part of an analytics service delivery team. You will be:

• Identifying opportunities and providing new insights by developing syntax (R, Power BI) to extract, transform and visualise diverse and complex data sets;
• Researching and adopting innovative approaches to solving complex problems which answer key business questions;
• Analysing and interpreting data to identify trends, drivers and measures of key university performance, in particular, to support student numbers planning, monitoring and forecasting processes;
• Writing reports, based on sound analytics and thorough methodologies, that succinctly and effectively convey insights to inform university decision making;

This role is a full-time position; however, flexible working arrangements may be negotiated.

About You

As a highly motivated and driven individual, your demonstrated strong track record and expertise in data analytics and proven ability to effectively communicate insights are essential. The ability to apply common statistical modelling (e.g. regression and tests of central tendency) is essential. Experience in forecasting and machine learning will be highly regarded.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a community of fun and intelligent people, be surrounded by a team of high achievers who are passionate and friendly, join a Group of Eight University with a globally recognised and respected brand, and leverage your expertise to take the Planning Analytics function to new heights.
