About the role

The Senior Data Insights Officer plays a key role in using data, insight and research to improve student experience and service delivery at King’s.

The post holder will lead on the analysis of complex quantitative and qualitative datasets, using tools such as Microsoft Power BI and AI-enabled text analytics to monitor institutional KPIs, support service-level agreements, and surface actionable insights for stakeholders across the university. This includes analysing student feedback from multiple sources, supporting institutional survey analysis, and producing clear, well-structured reports and insight outputs that communicate findings to a range of audiences.

The role works closely with Digital Product, UX and Student Services colleagues, supporting the analysis and synthesis of data generated through user research and service design activity. The role also contributes to a culture of evidence-led innovation by testing ideas, evaluating impact, and supporting strategic initiatives such as the Single View of Students.

Reporting to the Data Insights Manager, the Senior Data Insights Officer works with a high degree of autonomy, building strong relationships with stakeholders and acting as a trusted partner for teams across academic and professional services.

This is an exciting opportunity for candidates who want to apply advanced analytical skills to real-world challenges, influence how digital services are designed and delivered, and have a tangible impact on student experience and success.

This is a full-time post offered on an indefinite contract.
