Data Analyst

Hampden-Sydney College has an immediate opening for a Data Analyst. Reporting to the Assistant Provost & Director of Institutional Effectiveness, the Data Analyst will work closely with faculty and staff to develop, implement, and disseminate analyses on a range of College information including student enrollment and demographics, retention, and graduation, to support data needs of the College's academic and administrative units.

The hiring range is $30 - $37 per hour.

The ideal candidate should also be a "polymath"-someone who brings a broad range of skills and abilities to address the diverse responsibilities of the Office of Institutional Effectiveness. The ideal candidate will work effectively with a wide range of stakeholders, communicate clearly and effectively both verbally and in writing, and be capable of taking projects from initial concept through full implementation-even when the subject matter is unfamiliar.

• Support Office of Institutional Effectiveness (OIE) processes, including data analysis for federal and state reporting, academic and administrative assessment, accreditation, and external surveys/rankings.
• Respond to routine and ad-hoc data requests from internal and external stakeholders.
• Assist with dashboard development, key indicator reporting, production of the annual Factbook, and administration of institutional surveys.
• Conduct quantitative analyses on topics including enrollment, retention, graduation, and student demographics. Provide data support to College administrators, faculty, staff, and other members of the college community as needed. Present data in format suitable for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Provide periodic reports regarding the status of assigned projects and recommend corrective actions when necessary.
