We will create simpler and more effective ways of working that simplify our organisation and put our users at the centre of service delivery. We are looking for individual experts in their field, looking for a challenge to work with University teams to deliver change in a complex organisation. Our ambition is clear, to make a significant difference in how we work and what we do, utilising technology and data to create sustainable solutions while focusing on building capability in our people to make sure we are ready for the future. In doing so, we will support our colleagues to deliver what really matters - excellence in teaching, research and the student experience.
