What does a day in the life of a data analytics and reporting manager look like?
What does a day in the life of a data analytics and reporting manager look like? Every day is very different. There's not one day that looks like the other because we have different data needs.
I might work on a project for a week and then be done with it, and then work on another project the next week. For the most part, some of the repetitive tasks include uploading students into our platforms.
Every time we have a new semester and new students, I have to make sure that all their data is valid before I upload it into our systems. I also make sure to tell the PDMs to capture everyone's outcomes at the right time.
Rankings are on a calendar. For example, during June and July, I work on Bloomberg. For November and December, I work on US News. It's a year-round type of thing.
