About The Role

• NewGlobe has been data-driven from its inception, using a build-measure-learn approach to all aspects of service delivery.
• As a scale model business, we have an unprecedented opportunity to bring statistical power to all aspects of an educational operation, from the academics team using randomised controlled trials to validate the best teaching methods to the schools team understanding which factors contribute to teacher turnover to operational teams striving to improve our service delivery efficiency.
• However, as the size and complexity of our business has grown, we now want to bring in someone who can lead our efforts to consolidate and standardise our reporting capabilities, establishing a fully realised data warehouse and associated data marts, introducing continuous delivery practices, and partnering with key stakeholders to evolve our data offerings even further.
• To do this will require someone who can thrive in an environment of “build the airplane while flying it” - ensuring that we’re simultaneously responsive to the short term needs of the business and also looking to invest in the long term health and evolution of the platform.

What You Should Have
