Hours: Full time or part time (0.8-1.0FTE)
Contract: Permanent
Sector: Education
Help young people with an affinity for mathematics thrive.
We're looking for a Data + Insights Manager to build shared data systems, analyse national data and help a network of schools make better decisions.
This is an opportunity to join a small, ambitious charity at an exciting stage of its development. You'll help schools collect and use data more effectively, develop shared systems that save time and improve practice, and build the insight that helps schools, funders and U-Maths make better decisions.
If you enjoy turning real-world data into practical insight and want your work to have a national impact, we'd love to hear from you.
Why U-Maths?
U-Maths is the national charity for University Maths Schools.
Our vision is that every young person with an affinity for mathematics can thrive and succeed.
Our mission is to advance excellence and equity in mathematics education by strengthening and growing the national network of University Maths Schools.
There are currently nine state-funded University Maths Schools, each established in partnership with a leading university and specialising in mathematics and the mathematical sciences for students aged 16–19. The network continues to grow, with two further schools in Nottingham and Durham due to open.
Together, these schools are helping more young people – particularly those from backgrounds currently under-represented in the mathematical sciences – to access an outstanding mathematics education and progress to ambitious futures.
Why this role?
Schools are stronger when they work together.
By developing shared data systems, high-quality analysis and robust evidence at national level, U-Maths helps every University Maths School understand its work, strengthen its impact and reduce unnecessary duplication.
As our Data + Insights Manager, you'll play a central role in making that happen.
About the role
You'll lead U-Maths' work on data and insight across the network.
You'll help schools collect, manage and use data more effectively, develop and support a shared outreach CRM, produce high-quality reporting for schools and funders, and strengthen the evidence that helps U-Maths understand and improve its impact.
You'll also work with partners such as the Observatory for Mathematical Education to support robust national analysis and benchmarking where specialist expertise is needed.
What you'll be doing
You'll:
- develop and support a shared outreach CRM used across the University Maths School network;
- analyse data from schools and U-Maths programmes, producing clear insight for different audiences;
- improve reporting for schools, funders, trustees and the Department for Education;
- strengthen evaluation and impact reporting;
- support schools to use shared data systems confidently and effectively;
- help ensure that U-Maths' data is accurate, secure and well managed.
About you
You'll enjoy this role if you like making sense of data, improving systems and helping other people use them well.
You might have developed your skills in education, the charity sector, widening participation, evaluation, operations, CRM implementation or another setting where careful use of data matters. We're more interested in the skills, judgement and approach you bring than in where you have gained them.
We're looking for someone who:
- enjoys turning data into practical insight;
- communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences;
- works independently while building strong relationships with colleagues and schools;
- values accuracy, good systems and continuous improvement.
Why join us?
You'll be joining a small national team with the opportunity to make a lasting contribution to one of the UK's most successful educational innovations.
We offer:
- 30 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
- 11% employer pension contribution
- Flexible home-based working with monthly London team days
- Workspace available at King's College London
- A collaborative, ambitious and supportive team
We're aiming for the successful candidate to start on 1 December 2026, with some flexibility.
