Data Manager

A well-regarded independent school is looking to appoint an experienced Data Manager to take ownership of their MIS and the systems that sit around it. This is not a standard data role as the requirement is someone who understands how data flows through a school environment, spots where things could work better and has the drive to make those improvements.

The role will cover:

• Day-to-day management and maintenance of the school's MIS (experience across SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom or iSAMS all relevant)
• Production and analysis of a range of student and academic data
• Building and producing reports for SLT, Heads of Department and the wider school as required
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes, reduce duplication and streamline workflows across the school
• Managing integrations between the MIS and third-party platforms, ensuring data moves cleanly between systems
• Acting as the go-to person for staff who need help getting more from the data they have, listening to what they actually need and finding practical solutions
• Overseeing data accuracy, compliance and retention in line with school policy and relevant regulations

Candidates will have a track record in a data manager role within an education setting, ideally within the Independent school sector, but certainly from a school or trust environment. Strong MIS skills are a given, but what will really set candidates apart is the ability to think beyond the system itself. You'll need to be comfortable talking to colleagues across all areas of school life, understanding what they're trying to achieve and translating that into something useful and practical. The school is also looking for someone with a real interest in how systems connect and interact, with someone who has experience managing or improving integrations between platforms key.
