Overview
Senior Student Data Assurance Officer (INTERNAL ONLY) – Strand, London, WC2R 2LS
THIS VACANCY IS OPEN TO INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY
About us:
The King’s community is dedicated to the service of society. King’s Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world. Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us.
The Data Governance and Security team develops, maintains, and supports system and process security, data governance, data protection compliance, regulatory reporting, and external and internal audit requirements. The team ensures that strategies and procedures in relation to these areas are fit for purpose and is responsible for providing a ‘gold source’ of all student and course information data to ensure best practice.
We are part of the Students & Education Directorate, a collection of wide-ranging professional services in place to support King’s students and their education. As a directorate we manage the student lifecycle from application to graduation and beyond, to ensure a coherent and seamless student experience and effective administrative processes, working closely with King’s faculties to do so.
About the role:
The Senior Student Data Assurance Officer will provide assurance and operational support to colleagues engaged in both internal/external reporting (such as the HESA Data Futures return) and in business as usual activities that rely on the quality of our student data. This will entail the provision of end-to-end administrative support in triaging enquiries, resolving student data quality issues, working closely with colleagues in areas of statutory reporting and assisting with any reporting requirements.
They will also continuously adapt processes to improve efficiency of their own area, and within the wider team. This is an exciting opportunity for candidates looking to take responsibility over a key data activity within the university, and who wish to utilise their skills and expertise to ensure that the quality of our student data is accurate and of the highest quality.
We are looking for an individual who shares our aspirations and our values, who is comfortable working strategically and operationally, who understands how to deliver support and services to students and other end-users, and who is equipped to work in a high volume, complex and fast paced environment.
This is a full-time post (35 hours per week), and you will be offered an indefinite contract.
