We are focused on adding value to the university community and student experience by providing an exemplary service delivering quality services to applicants, students, staff and graduates.
This is an exciting opportunity working in an environment where the HE sector is subject to continual and rapid change, which in turn impacts on the constantly changing priorities within the organisation, and inevitably requires senior management to respond in a time critical way. As challenges emerge, the post holder will be required to be flexible, responsive and pro- active to meet changing priorities and pressures. This will include being forward thinking in taking the initiative on dealing with issues in the context of the portfolio of the Chief Strategy and Planning Officer as they arise. Role holders will also be expected to acquire a sound level of knowledge of the complexities dealt with by the Chief Strategy and Planning Officer and a working knowledge of the activities of the wider University. The role requires significant levels of confidentiality, discretion and judgement at all times.
To support the Chief Strategy and Planning Officer in managing their portfolio, this key role working within a strong collegiate team will require the post holder to possess a significant level of organisational and management skills in order to provide a high level of pro-active support, including project management of key activities, including the establishment of appropriate working groups, having independent decision making authority and being able to demonstrate high levels of negotiation and influence to achieve target deadlines as well as complex diary management that involves multiple diary co-ordination and capacity building.
The post holder will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operational management of the Chief Strategy and Planning Officer's business, demonstrating consistency of decision making with ability to proactively manage rapidly changing priorities. This will require the use of initiative and creativity to solve problems on a daily basis, using detailed knowledge, with high levels of tact and diplomacy.
