Full description
This position is part of the BYU-Pathway Institutional Research (IR) team, which makes data visible and actionable for organizational decision-makers and implementation teams. BYU-Pathway operates with more of a start-up feel than is common in higher education research, creating significant opportunity for innovation and analytical impact. Leadership relies on IR to explain initiative performance, monitor key performance indicators, conduct applied research, and forecast future institutional outcomes.
This position is centered on transforming institutional data and research into trusted analytic products, clear findings, and actionable guidance. The incumbent will build and maintain reporting products, execute research projects, steward complex analytic methods, support shared reporting standards, and coordinate with internal and partner-organization stakeholders. Success requires strong technical capability, disciplined research practice, sound judgment, and the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences.
Work Schedule: This is a full-time benefitted position located within commuting distance of BYU-Pathway headquarters in downtown Salt Lake City. The position is hybrid-remote, currently requiring 1-3 days per week in the office, and the incumbent must physically reside and perform assigned work in Utah. Occasional travel will be necessary.
