Student Data Returns Manager

We are looking for a detail-driven and proactive Student Data Returns Manager to lead the University’s statutory student data submissions, including Data Futures and HESES. Reporting to and working closely with the Head of Student Data and External Reporting, you will play a key role in ensuring the accuracy, quality, and timely delivery of these critical returns.

You will bring a strong understanding of student data systems and a passion for data quality, collaborating with colleagues across the University to improve processes and implement efficiencies. You will also help shape a culture of continuous improvement and professional growth - all while being supported by a team of professionals who are collaborative, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do.

If you thrive on structure, love solving data challenges, and want to make a meaningful impact in higher education, we’d love to hear from you. Experience of successfully delivering HESA DF and HESES returns is essential, and expert knowledge of student data management systems—preferably SITS—is highly welcomed.
