Head of MIS - Systems & Reporting

If you're the kind of person who looks at disconnected systems, manual processes and complex reporting challenges and immediately starts thinking about how to make them better, this could be your next move.

At Orbital South Colleges Group, we're looking for a strategic and forward-thinking Head of MIS – Systems and Reporting to lead the development of our systems, reporting infrastructure and digital platforms across East Surrey College and John Ruskin College.

This is more than a traditional MIS role.

You'll be responsible for shaping how data, systems and technology work together across the organisation, ensuring leaders have the information they need to make informed decisions whilst maintaining compliance with funding, audit, safeguarding and regulatory requirements.

You'll lead the strategic oversight of all College systems, including student records, HR, finance, payroll, timetabling, digital platforms and Share Point.

Working closely with senior leaders, you'll drive systems integration, digital transformation and reporting improvements, develop business intelligence solutions, implement workflow automation and support the adoption of technologies that improve efficiency and user experience.

You'll also ensure our systems remain secure, compliant and capable of delivering accurate data to support funding, performance management, safeguarding and organisational decision-making.

We're interested in hearing from professionals who bring a blend of technical expertise, strategic thinking and strong leadership skills, including:

• Experience leading MIS, systems, reporting or business intelligence functions.
• Strong knowledge of funding, ILR and data compliance requirements
• Experience working with complex datasets, reporting systems and databases.
• Knowledge of digital platforms, systems integration and process improvement.
• Experience managing and developing teams is desirable.
• The ability to translate complex data into meaningful insights that support strategic decision-making.
• Knowledge of Pro Solution or other educational MIS systems is desirable.

Interviews are expected to be held on the 17th and 18th of August.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key strategic role within a forward-thinking College Group, helping to shape the future of data, funding and performance across the organisation
