As one of EdTech’s most steadily growing companies, our roots in higher ed ground us in the critical nature of this work.\nWhat We Do:\n We help our clients navigate today’s high stakes with data and Institutional Performance Management practices.

This role works across the full range of institutional analytics we implement - from the student lifecycle, including admissions, enrollment, retention, completions, and student financials, to academic cost analytics, where the questions turn to what a program costs to deliver and what it earns.

Partner with stakeholders across the institution to align methodology with how the institution actually budgets and reports.\n\nValidation and Quality: Deploy and configure Tableau workbooks or Power BI reports to support models being implemented. Run validation cycles with client stakeholders, document feedback, and drive issues to resolution before go-live. Investigate discrepancies raised during validation and trace them to a root cause. Provide validation and investigation support to client-facing teams post-implementation as needed.\n\nDocumentation: Document client-specific business rules and configuration decisions so that ongoing support teams can reference them. Support implementation handoff documentation. Provide implementation feedback and documentation for new products post product launch.\n\nData Advisory: Escalate common implementation hurdles to the product team for further enhancement and refinement of our products.
