3 weeks ago

Somerville, United States Tufts University Full time

Overview:
The Tufts Office of University Strategy and Program Development tackles the most interesting and pressing challenges in higher education through critical strategic planning, advisory, and analytical support. The Office serves the University as a partner to Tufts’ schools and the central administration in the identification and development of mission-related opportunities that transform the University’s model for sustainable success in the 21st century higher education ecosystem. We achieve this mission by providing business analysis and project management expertise for transformational strategic initiatives (often serving as an internal consulting agency), by providing best-in-class market research and business analysis to the Tufts community, by partnering with schools and units across the university to build strategic portfolios of educational programs, and by supporting the university’s strategic planning processes and the cultivation of a strategic mindset in all areas of the institution. Led by an Executive Director, the Office reports to the Executive Vice President and works closely with the Office of the Provost in establishing and implementing its priorities.

What You'll Do:
The Associate Director of Strategy and Analysis supports and/or implements several of the Office of University Strategy and Program Development’s key ongoing services and functions. Responsible for leading the day-to-day operations of the Strategic Analysis function, which completes sophisticated and holistic assessments to support high-level decision making and to advance university priorities. Responsible for managing and contributing to the scoping, analytical design, production, and delivery of strategic assessments rooted in comprehensive market research and data-driven analysis.

Breadth of work for the Associate Director of Strategy and Analysis will be weighted towards educational programs, but will also include other academic and operational structures and University strategic initiatives. Contributes to the vision of the Strategic Analysis function including ongoing ownership of the menu of services and client services management. Serves as a key strategic partner to the Office of the Provost, Schools, and Central Units. Manages analyst staff, assigning and monitoring work and assessing performance on managed projects. Participates in other OUSPD activities including initiative management and strategy activation work.
