Bangor University is seeking to appoint a full-time, permanent Senior Corporate Data Officer to lead the delivery of its statutory data returns and strengthen institutional data governance. This is a pivotal role providing expert oversight of HESA, Medr and other regulatory reporting, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and high quality insight.

You will act as the University’s subject matter expert on statutory data requirements, drive improvements in data quality and processes, and influence senior stakeholders across academic and professional services.

Applications are invited from candidates with significant experience in statutory reporting or regulatory data management, strong knowledge of HESA/Medr frameworks, advanced analytical skills and attention to detail and a proven ability to lead complex data returns and improve data quality. Experience of higher education statutory returns, knowledge of HESA data models and process improvement expertise would also be an advantage.
