The opportunity

As UAL responds to a changing world, we have recently launched an ambitious new 10-year strategy. The University Central Planning Unit will play an important role in defining how we reach our strategic goals and monitoring our progress on this journey.

As a result, we are investing in our planning team and expanding our capacity to help us shape the provision UAL offers, whilst ensuring we are informing and monitoring outcomes. This provision of advice, insights and analysis will allow senior decision-makers to plan for growth and ensure we are offering a first-class experience to all our students.

Working closely with the Size & Shape Board, the UCPU team and key stakeholders from across the University, the Planning Analyst will support and co-ordinate student number and academic planning activities; utilising management information and data analysis to formulate business intelligence. This will include co-ordinating the use of our student number planning models, market intelligence reporting and resource planning activities, and as required, supporting the provision of related data dashboards. This post will deliver timely and accurate outputs in these areas, ensuring that results align with the strategic and operational needs of the University and its Colleges.
