Job Description 
This position provides data and reporting support to the schools, colleges, and academic leadership within the One IT organization, with an emphasis on the responsible use of AI tools to make institutional data more accessible and useful.
Reporting to the Assistant Vice President for Academic Technology Services within ITS, the position coordinates across One IT Directors, relevant university units, and institutional stakeholders to identify, catalogue, and bring together institutional data, including data on prospective, current, and prior students, as well as courses and programs.
As that data foundation matures, the position shifts its emphasis toward ongoing analysis and reporting for Deans and senior leaders, using AI tools to produce clear, timely, and useful information. Student and enrollment data is a primary area of focus.
Education and Experience  | Required: Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent combination of education and experience, with three (3+) plus years of experience working with data in an analytical, reporting, or institutional research capacity. Experience coordinating work across teams or departments. Familiarity with AI tools and interest in applying them to data and reporting work.  Preferred: Experience in a higher education setting. Experience with data visualization tools such as Power BI or Tableau. Working knowledge of SQL and relational data. Familiarity with Microsoft Fabric or Azure. Experience helping to establish data definitions or support data governance.
Skills and Knowledge  | Comfort working with data from multiple sources, including extracting, compiling, and organizing it for analysis. Familiarity with AI tools and a willingness to use them to speed up analysis and reporting. Ability to coordinate work across multiple teams and keep an effort on track without direct authority. Ability to explain data and findings in plain language for non-technical audiences. Comfort learning new tools and platforms as the work evolves. Interest in building data literacy and helping others use data well.
Responsibilities  | Coordinate One IT Directors across schools and colleges to identify and catalogue institutional data and bring it into a shared data environment. Set shared timelines and expectations, track progress, and remove obstacles, with the support of the AVP for Academic Technology Services. Work with each school’s One IT Director to access, document, and consume their data, and help establish shared data definitions so that centralized data is consistent and reusable across units. Partner with the ITS Data and AI team on the underlying platforms and infrastructure, including Microsoft Fabric. Use AI tools, such as Claude and Copilot, to analyze institutional data, generate reports, and synthesize findings for Deans and senior leaders. Develop prompts and workflows that produce accurate, well-structured outputs suited to a higher education setting. Build dashboards and visualizations and translate findings for non-technical audiences so leaders can act on the information.
