PURPOSE
As a Marking Quality Analyst, you will be responsible for helping improve our quality of marking.

Reporting into the Head of Assessment Performance and working as part of a wider team that includes product management, marketing, and sales, you will play a key role in helping us to deliver a service to be proud of.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

1. Provide Pearson UK with timely, accurate, and insightful data analysis to support Assessment Associates during marking.
2. Develop an understanding of assessment processes, customers, products, and learners.
3. Work with stakeholders across all divisions to understand their business requirements and translate these (if necessary) into data requirements.

You should be comfortable with Microsoft Excel and have a passion for understanding, explaining, and presenting data.

Other challenges include:
