Job description

Student Data and Systems Manager (Continuous Improvement)

Are you looking for a role where you can help us deliver change and make a difference to the student and staff experience?

We are seeking a candidate to lead change and continuous improvement activities, comfortable working with technical experts, business process owners, and practitioners. This role will initially focus on our strategic project to implement a new student information system (SIS), leading activities such as communication, engagement, training plans, and supporting our future user community. As the SIS project transitions to business as usual, this role will evolve to embed continuous improvement into our ways of working with the new SIS.

About you

You are an excellent communicator, compassionate, and able to tailor activities to diverse groups. Your influencing and negotiation skills will help us be ambitious and empower teams to deliver effective services supporting the student journey. You will lead various 'business as usual' projects, utilizing your planning and analytical skills to shape our work to meet UWE’s objectives and inform decision-making.

Location

This role is based at our vibrant Frenchay campus, equipped with modern facilities to support staff and students.
