This role is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys managing multiple workstreams, engaging with diverse stakeholders, and delivering at pace.

You should have a good knowledge of the regulatory and policy environment of higher education – particularly in relation to KE, as well as an awareness of the diversity of KE mechanisms, models and practices.

You demonstrate a proven ability to successfully engage staff with new performance data capturing and/or reporting processes. You can communicate ideas clearly and inclusively, and ideally have experience of line management of staff with responsibilities for communications, staff development, and/or events management.   You can also co-ordinate and review work, effort, and resources, ensuring maximum efficiency and delivery of goals.
