About The Role
As Student Recruitment Insights and Forecasting Analyst, you will play a key role in helping BIMM University understand, predict, and improve student recruitment performance.
Working within the Data and Insights function, you'll provide expert analysis of the student recruitment pipeline, from enquiry through to enrolment, using forecasting, scenario modelling, and performance insight to identify risks, highlight opportunities, and support informed decision-making across Recruitment, Admissions, Marketing, and Academic teams.
What You'll Do
- Analyse recruitment performance across the full student journey, identifying trends, conversion patterns, leakage points, and key drivers of performance.
- Create and maintain enrolment forecasts, scenario models, and projections that support planning, budgeting, and student number management.
- Monitor recruitment performance against targets, providing timely insight on emerging risks, opportunities, and expected outcomes.
- Produce clear, actionable analysis to support decision-making across Recruitment, Admissions, Marketing, and Academic teams.
- Segment and interpret recruitment data across key areas, including programme, market, domicile, applicant type, and recruitment channel.
- Use market, applicant, and performance data to identify opportunities to improve conversion and recruitment effectiveness.
- Create dashboards, reports, and visualisations that help stakeholders understand performance and make informed decisions.
- Evaluate the impact of recruitment activity, applicant communications, and marketing campaigns on conversion outcomes.
- Support the optimisation of CRM journeys and applicant engagement strategies through data-driven insight.
- Refine analytical frameworks, forecasting methodologies, and performance measures to strengthen understanding of recruitment performance.
- Contribute analytical expertise to system enhancements, reporting improvements, and institution-wide projects relating to recruitment, admissions, and planning.
- Present insights, forecasts, and recommendations to a range of stakeholders, translating complex analysis for non-technical audiences.
- Collaborate with colleagues across the University to embed evidence-based decision-making and continuous improvement.
