Description

Uppingham School, one of the UK’s leading co-educational independent schools, is seeking a Business and Data Analyst. This is a great opportunity to make a real impact within a growing and ambitious institution that values operational excellence and data-driven decision making.

The school is home to a vibrant community of pupils, supported by more than 550 staff across academic departments and professional services. We are an ambitious and forward-thinking school who aspire to be the first-choice co-educational day and boarding school in the UK. As a Business and Data Analyst, you will be instrumental to achieving this vision.

Reporting to the Director of Information Systems, you will work across departments to evaluate existing workflows, identify optimal systems and practices, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of operational data that will inform strategic decisions. Initially focusing on the Admissions department, your role will evolve to include Finance, HR, Operations and Estates, helping to improve processes and data usage, uncover interdependencies and promote integrated, school-wide efficiencies.

You will also play a central role in designing interactive Power BI dashboards, liaising with software vendors, and aligning technology systems with the school’s operational processes.

About you

We are looking for someone with a strong understanding of business administration and data analysis, supported by relevant qualifications or equivalent experience. You will need experience of working with multiple stakeholders in different business areas (e.g. Sales, Marketing, Finance, HR, Operations, Estates etc.) and will be capable of driving operational change through influence and collaboration.

Experience working with operational systems such as CRM, HR and finance software is important, as are strong skills in Power BI and Excel. An understanding of GDPR, compliance, and the handling of confidential data is essential, as is a proactive mindset and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Uppingham School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.

All positions at the School are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, therefore ALL convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings (including those which would normally be considered ‘spent’ under the Act) MUST be declared, subject to the DBS filtering rules. All information given will be treated as confidential and each case will be taken on its merits. Failure to disclose this information may result in the withdrawal of an offer of employment or immediate termination of employment.
