The challenge

Make a real difference to the lives of students by bringing your data governance and programme leadership skills to the Office for Students (OfS). As the independent regulator of higher education in England, we ensure the best experience and the best value – for students, for taxpayers, for the economy and for the public good. This is an opportunity to shape all aspects of data governance and data use at the OfS, by joining our Data Transformation Programme leadership team.

Job description

The role

The OfS has committed to deliver a significant and comprehensive data transformation programme (DTP), designed to establish a robust approach to modernising the use and management of all data, to inform decision making and support our regulatory activity.  

You will support the Data Transformation Delivery Manager in establishing policies and procedures which will ensure that high standards of data governance are developed and maintained, in line with relevant regulations and ethical considerations. You will provide expert oversight of complex workstreams to drive delivery of the programme’s objectives; this will involve team leadership, as well as ensuring appropriate and effective allocation of resources.
