Role Overview

The Data Analyst supports institutional effectiveness through data analysis, reporting, automation, and business intelligence. Working within the Office of Institutional Research, this role collects, analyzes, and interprets institutional data—including enrollment, student success, demographics, and other key performance indicators—to inform strategic planning across the college.

The position requires comfort operating in both modern and legacy data environments: proficiency with current analytics tools is essential, along with the flexibility to work with less-structured systems as the college modernizes its data infrastructure. Success requires a commitment to data integrity, continuous improvement, and the ability to communicate complex information to technical and non-technical audiences.
