• System Reliability: Oversee application performance, issue resolution, updates, and maintenance.
• SQL & Integration: Maintain central SQL databases and ensure seamless integration across digital tools and platforms.
• User Empowerment: Lead training and engagement to boost digital adoption and confidence across teams.
• Tech Planning & Investment: Support budgeting and planning for future-ready, cost-effective digital solutions.
• Cybersecurity: Embed data protection and cybersecurity best practices across all systems and workflows.
• Documentation: Produce clear, up-to-date documentation for all systems, processes, and enhancements.
• Digital Advisory: Provide expert guidance on system use and promote innovation across the organisation.
• e-Learning & Innovation: Collaborate on projects exploring VLEs, digital pedagogy, and AI-driven learning tools.
  
  

Essential Qualifications:

• Educated to degree level or equivalent, or significant and relevant experience in IT Technologies.
  
  

Essential Experience:

• Experience managing applications, systems, or databases that support the curation and management of critical information, preferably within an education setting.
• Proven track record in managing system and process changes effectively.
• Skilled at collaborating within cross-organisational teams, working closely with end-users, technical staff, professional teams, and senior management.
• Hands-on experience with the technical administration of platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Power BI, Salesforce CRM, SharePoint Online, ProMonitor, Tribal EBS, Moodle, and Google Classroom.
• Demonstrated expertise in managing enterprise business systems such as LMS, Salesforce, HR platforms, Power BI, SQL databases, and online learning environments. Skilled in data governance, reporting, and analytics, with a strong ability to translate both business and academic requirements into effective technical solutions.
• Proven ability to lead and manage a team of business systems developers, while providing proactive support to the wider ILT team as needed.
