With campuses across the UK, Ireland, and Germany, we offer a diverse range of courses in modern music, performing arts, filmmaking and creative technology. Our commitment to excellence in creative arts education sets us apart, providing students with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities they need to succeed in their chosen fields.
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.
What You'll Bring:
Experience analysing student recruitment pipelines within a higher education environment.
A strong understanding of recruitment and conversion dynamics across the student lifecycle, from enquiry through to enrolment.
Experience creating and applying forecasting models, scenario planning and performance projections.
The ability to translate complex analysis into clear, actionable insight that supports decision-making.
Advanced analytical and reporting skills, including experience using tools such as Excel, SQL, Power BI, Tableau or similar platforms.
Experience producing dashboards, reports and visualisations that communicate information clearly and effectively.
Strong attention to detail, with a commitment to data quality, accuracy and integrity.
Experience using data to identify risks, opportunities and performance improvement initiatives.
The ability to manage competing priorities and work independently in a fast-paced environment.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience presenting findings and recommendations to a range of audiences.
Experience influencing decision-making through the interpretation of complex data and analytical insight.
A collaborative approach, with the ability to build effective working relationships across teams and functions.
Experience with CRM systems, applicant data or student recruitment platforms would be advantageous, as would knowledge of international student recruitment, marketing analysis or predictive modelling techniques.
