Monitor and report key performance indicators (KPIs) that support institutional planning and decision-making. Ensure data accuracy, integrity, and consistency by partnering with data owners across the college. Coordinate institutional surveys, manage survey platforms, and support the interpretation and communication of survey results. Provide training and guidance on data access, interpretation, visualization, and the effective use of data in decision-making. Competencies/KSAs: - Expertise in relational and NoSQL databases, including SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, with advanced skills in writing and optimizing SQL queries, procedures, and views.
- Proficient in data integration and ETL/ELT processes, with strong understanding of data warehousing and business intelligence concepts.
- Knowledge of higher education reporting, compliance, and accreditation processes, including experience with external reporting requirements (e.g., IPEDS, Common Data Set, state and federal reporting), institutional surveys, course evaluations, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Skilled in programming languages for data analysis and automation, such as Python, Java, C#, SAS, R, and SPSS.
- Ability to guide data conversations and data consumers so data are presented and interpreted as actionable insights for immediate use in institutional decision-making for business decisions.
- Experienced in building interactive dashboards and visualizations using Power BI, Tableau, and web-based tools.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills and attention to detail for work with moderate-to-high complexity data under moderate supervision.
- Effective team collaborator and communicator across technical and non-technical audiences, translating campus needs into data solutions.
- Capable of navigating ambiguity, managing multiple projects independently, time management within a demanding workload, and adapting to evolving technologies.
- Committed to data integrity and confidentiality with a logical approach to organizing, analyzing, and documenting data.
Minimum Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree OR an equivalent combination of education and/or relevant experience. An equivalency will not count towards the experience requirements listed below.
