We are looking for people who will:
• Be responsible for the efficient working of a highly productive technical team through effective planning, workload management and delivery reporting.
• Support the implementation of planned system developments and day to day maintenance, that impacts across the University community, to build continuous improvement.
• Work collaboratively within the Finance Directorate, but also engage with internal stakeholders across the University to ensure successful project delivery.
• Be keen to develop your own knowledge and share that best practise.
About you
