What We’re Looking For:

The Lead Analyst, Exec Ed Portfolio Analytics sits outside the program pod structure and owns the cross-cutting analytical functions that sit above individual programs.

You will own contact strategy analytics, partner reporting, discount and scholarship analytics, and partner resource performance, working closely with the Director, the Manager, and the equivalent Portfolio Analytics function on the Degree side. This is a role for an analyst who is equally comfortable building analytical frameworks, presenting to senior audiences, and collaborating across a distributed team.

• Develop a consistent reporting framework that can be applied across Exec Ed partners while accommodating partner-specific requirements and preferences.
• Collaborate with the Senior Manager and program analysts to ensure that program-level data feeding into partner reports is complete and validated before delivery.
• Identify opportunities to improve the partner reporting experience  -  including automation, self-serve dashboards, or enhanced data storytelling that increases partner confidence and engagement.

 3. Discount & Scholarship Analytics

• Own discount and scholarship analytics for the Exec Ed portfolio  -  tracking how discounts and scholarships are being used across programs and measuring their impact on registration behavior and revenue.
• Build and maintain an analytical framework for evaluating the effectiveness of discount and scholarship strategies, with clear metrics and benchmarks.

• Partner with Finance and the Exec Ed business team to ensure discount and scholarship analytics are aligned with financial planning and partner commitments.

 4. Partner & Resource Performance

• Analyze how Exec Ed team resources and capacity are distributed across partners identifying imbalances, gaps, or opportunities to reallocate effort for greater impact.
• Track partner-level analytics engagement  -  which partners are actively consuming and acting on the analytics we provide, and where there is an opportunity to deepen the analytical relationship.
• Support the Director with data and analysis for partner business reviews, renewal conversations, or strategic planning sessions where portfolio-level insight is required.
• Flag partner health signals proactively  -  surfacing early indicators of partner dissatisfaction, underperformance, or strategic misalignment to the Director before they become escalations.

 5.  Portfolio Performance & Cross-Program Insight

• • Maintain a portfolio-level view of Exec Ed performance  -  synthesizing program-level data into cross-portfolio trends, patterns, and insights that inform leadership decision-making.
  • Produce portfolio-level analytics for the Director and VP of Analytics, including cross-program benchmarking, cohort performance comparisons, and portfolio health summaries.
  • Identify systemic patterns across the Exec Ed portfolio  -  for example, funnel stages that are consistently underperforming across multiple programs  -  and surface these with analytical evidence and recommended actions.
  • Partner with the Degree Portfolio Analytics team led by Kevin Bolton, to ensure consistency in portfolio analytics methodology, reporting standards, and data definitions across the full organization.

Things That Should Be In Your Background:

•  4–6 years of experience in analytics, with demonstrated ability to own analytical workstreams independently from design through delivery.
• Experience with portfolio-level or cross-program analytics  -  you are comfortable synthesizing data across multiple programs or accounts into a coherent narrative.
• Familiarity with contact strategy analytics, CRM analytics, or customer journey measurement  -  or strong demonstrated ability to build new analytical frameworks in unfamiliar domains.
• Strong data storytelling skills  -  you can translate complex, multi-dimensional data into clear insights for partner-facing and executive audiences.
• Highly detail-oriented with strong data hygiene instincts  -  portfolio analytics requires consistency and accuracy across many inputs.
• Proficiency in SQL and at least one BI or data visualization platform (Tableau, Looker, or equivalent).

What We’re Looking For:

The Manager, Executive Education Analytics is responsible for the day-to-day analytical leadership of the Exec Ed program pod in Cape Town. This role sits between the Director and the analyst team  -  translating strategic direction into operational rigor, ensuring analysts are producing high-quality outputs on time, and serving as the primary point of accountability for program-level spend and performance across the pod. You will manage a team of analysts who each own a portfolio of Exec Ed programs end-to-end, and you will be expected to know every program in your pod well enough to speak to it at any moment. This is a hands-on leadership role that requires both people management depth and strong analytical credibility.

Responsibilities Include, But Are Not Limited To:

1. Team Management &  Analyst Development

• Manage and develop a pod of 3-4 analysts, each responsible for demand generation analytics and program performance for a defined set of Exec Ed programs.
• Set and maintain a high quality bar for analyst outputs - spend plans, forecasts, and meeting preparation should not reach stakeholders without a manager's review.
• Run structured 1:1s with each analyst focused on work quality, skill development, and wellbeing - not just status updates.
• Actively develop analyst capability particularly in areas where the new unified model requires growth: spend planning, forecasting methodology, and partner communication.
• Manage capacity and prioritization across the pod, escalating to the Director when workload or capability creates genuine delivery risk.

 2. Spend Management & Budget Oversight

• Own the pod-level view of Exec Ed spend tracking actuals versus plan across all programs in the pod and flagging material variances to the Director in a timely manner.
• Review and approve analyst spend plans before they are submitted to the media execution team, ensuring plans are analytically sound and aligned to program goals.
• Serve as the escalation point for spend-related questions from media, finance, or internal stakeholders within your pod.
• Ensure analysts are held accountable to budget accuracy and that spend decisions are documented and defensible.

 3. Analytics & Program Performance

• Maintain a real-time view of all programs in the pod  -  you should be able to speak to any program's status, funnel performance, and risks without preparation.
• Review cohort forecasts produced by analysts ensuring they reflect current pacing, are methodologically consistent, and are ready for stakeholder consumption.
• Own submit-to-registration analysis at the pod level  -  identifying systemic patterns across programs and surfacing insights to the Director and broader team.
• Ensure the pod meeting cadence is maintained with analysts leading well-prepared, data-driven program performance conversations on the agreed schedule.

 4.  Portfolio Visibility & Stakeholder Engagement

• Contribute to portfolio-level reporting by ensuring pod-level data is accurate, submitted on time, and in the correct format for rollup by the Director.
• Serve as a senior analytical resource in stakeholder conversations where analyst-level presence is insufficient - stepping in to provide additional context or credibility.
• Partner with US-based colleagues including the broader Analytics leadership team, maintaining tight alignment on spend plans, forecasting methodology, and portfolio priorities.
• Support partner-facing engagements as needed, ensuring that the analytical narrative presented to university partners is accurate, clear, and reflects the full picture of program performance.

 5.  Operations & Team Rhythm

• • Own the operational cadence of the pod including spend plan submission timelines, forecast cycles, and program meeting schedules.
  • Establish and maintain team norms around data hygiene, output formatting, and stakeholder communication  particularly important as the CT team is new and norms are being set.
  • Coordinate with the Lead Analyst (Portfolio) to ensure program-level data flows correctly into portfolio analytics workstreams such as contact strategy and partner reporting.
  • Identify and flag process improvement opportunities including areas where tooling or automation could reduce manual work across the pod.

Things That Should Be In Your Background:

• 5+ years of experience in analytics, with at least 1-2 years in a people management or formal mentoring role.
• Strong command of demand generation analytics, media spend management, and registration or enrollment funnel performance.
• Proven ability to hold a team accountable to output quality and deadlines while maintaining a coaching and development mindset.
• Highly organized - you can track multiple programs, workstreams, and analyst portfolios simultaneously without dropping threads.
• Strong communicator, comfortable in both internal stakeholder settings and cross-timezone collaboration with US-based leadership.
• Analytically credible - you can engage deeply with the work your analysts are producing and identify issues before they reach stakeholders.
• Proficiency in analytics and BI tools; SQL or equivalent querying skills.

Other Attributes That Will Help You In This Role:

• Experience in higher education, ed-tech, or an enrollment- or subscription-based business.
• Familiarity with CRM systems, contact strategy analytics, or customer journey frameworks.
• Experience working in a globally distributed team with remote leadership.

•  Exposure to cohort-level forecasting methodology and registration funnel analytics.
