About the Team 

The Insights & Analytics Team is responsible for surfacing program insights that fuel the ongoing internal design, practices and advancement of the program offerings and in some cases, inform the industry at large by applying data science/analytics in concert with qualitative observation and/or research. The team is responsible for advancing and stewarding a prioritized learning agenda on key programmatic questions that advance the work of the Offerings team, the organization, and the industry at large. Relatedly, this will require strong communication skills and the ability to translate complex findings into easy understood takeaways for non-expert internal and external audiences. The team works closely with the Vice President of Academic Innovation & Performance and the Office of the Chief Program Officer to generate credible and actionable insights informed by a variety of programmatic data.  

This is a newly formed, dynamic team with cross-functional and collaborative opportunities. As such, successful candidates for the team will be curious entrepreneurs, with a mind toward partnership and collaborative problem-solving to create the necessary processes to deliver on the team charge. Relatedly, members of this team will have the unique opportunity to shape the new collaborative structures and practices that will be utilized.
