The Assistant Head of Business Intelligence has responsibility for the operational delivery of the Business Intelligence team within Data and Student Analytics ensuring that best practice processes are embedded to deliver a high-quality service to the university. You will also work directly with stakeholders to understand their needs and translate those into focused BI products that support effective decision making.

This is an exciting time to join the Business Intelligence team as we lead the OU’s adoption of our new cloud-based analytics platform, and in this role, you will have the opportunity to influence and support adoption and ways of working across the OU as we establish a centre of excellence model.

Do you have a proven ability to understand complex business questions and take a lead role in developing effective solutions that drive evidence-based decision making?

Can you tell simple and persuasive stories with data, presenting complex pieces of analysis in an impactful way that can be understood by both technical and non-technical audiences?

If the answer to these questions is yes - we want to hear from you
