Tell our research people story in numbers…

The University of Bath is looking for a data analyst, proficient in Excel and Power BI. We want you to help us to understand our people data that describes our research culture and environment. We want you to use that data to help us understand what is really happening rather than what we think might be happening.

This is the primary focus of your time with us.

…and make a difference for the people you will work with.

We know that we have weaknesses in our data and that we need to develop our ability to move from report generation to developing insights. The second part of your role will be to act as a subject matter expert, supporting your colleagues in the HR Management Information Team in both the development and delivery of the actions that will improve our data quality, and to acquire further confidence and expertise in the use of Power BI to create insights.
