ITHAKA is a not-for-profit organization that works with the global higher
education community to advance and preserve knowledge and to improve
teaching and learning through the use of digital technologies.  We have a
bold mission. We work with leaders in the global higher education community
to advance and preserve knowledge and to improve teaching and learning
through the use of digital technologies. We are passionate about the value
of education and are driven to deploy technologies to make our
universities, colleges, and high schools better, more affordable, and more
effective, and to reach beyond these traditional walls to support learners
everywhere.

Team-members in our Educational Transformation program identify, verify,
and assist in the deployment of strategies for improving learning outcomes
and containing costs in higher education. Our team designs and carries out
qualitative and quantitative studies of promising initiatives in
technology-enhanced education, governance, student-learning assessment, and
other areas that further these goals. We help partner organizations develop
and implement evidence-based strategies that emerge from this research.

The Role

As a Senior Analyst, you will work collaboratively on both research
projects and consulting engagements in the Educational Transformation
program. You will contribute to multiple concurrent projects with ambitious
deadlines, in some cases serving as project lead responsible for
high-quality, on-time completion. Working from our New York office, you
will be an integral member of the Educational Transformation program,
helping to shape the research agenda and take day-to-day responsibility for
our most important projects. Our organization and this role will connect
you with our wide network of higher education leaders and top researchers,

and give you the opportunity to play a significant role in analytical
projects that are both cutting edge and highly influential.

collecting and maintaining datasets, arranging interviews, managing

such as market research data to address key research questions and inform
