Do you have the skills or experience to transform data into strategic insights that drive impactful change for University students? Do you strive to develop systems and reporting mechanisms that enhance organisational performance and support student advocacy?

We are looking for a Data & Insight Lead to join Middlesex University Students' Union (MDXSU). As the Data & Insight Lead, you will be developing and refining MDXSU's insight capacity. Your role will involve building systems, structures, and reporting mechanisms to ensure our insight function is exceptional. You will gather and interpret a variety of data sources from MDXSU's engagement metrics to students' opinions, creating actionable insights that will guide our campaigns, support students in lobbying for systemic change, and enhance our overall impact. 

The successful candidate will be a detail-oriented and strategic thinker with a strong background in data analysis and insight generation. You will have excellent skills in data visualisation, and the ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable recommendations.
