The opportunity

The Market Research and Insights Analyst uses research and analysis to help university leaders understand what is changing in higher education, why it matters, and what we should pay attention to next. As part of the Marketing Insights and Analytics team, you will explore internal and external data, secondary research, competitive intelligence, and market signals to uncover meaningful trends and emerging questions.

Working closely with the Director of Marketing Insights and Analytics, you will turn complex information into clear points of view, compelling visualizations, and executive-ready presentations. This role is well suited to someone who enjoys following evidence, discovering unexpected patterns, asking "why," and communicating the story behind the data—not simply producing reports.
