Staffordshire University is working hard to become the UK’s premier digitally led university. We are already leading the way in the sector by adopting Microsoft cloud technologies and becoming the UK’s first Microsoft ‘Beacon University’. We are embarking on an ambitious portfolio of change to support our ‘Connected University’ strategy, focused on teaching & learning and the student experience. Our people will be key to its success, so we want to hear from dynamic, highly competent, customer focused IT/digital professionals that relish the opportunity to be part of our new Digital Services team and play a key role in delivering our ambitious plans.
Reporting into the Head of digital Projects, you’ll be responsible for the Project Management Office (PMO) and providing PMO services and support for all digital/IT projects and programmes across the University. You’ll apply project control solutions for planning, scheduling and tracking projects; set up project files and compile and distribute routine project and programme reporting. You’ll also support Digital Project Delivery Teams with administrative services for project boards, project assurance teams and quality review meetings. You’ll play a key role in the setting up of projects, provide guidance on individual project proposals and support senior management and project and programme managers by providing views on risk, change, quality, finance or configuration management. In addition, you’ll provide guidance on project management methodology, procedures, processes, tools and techniques and contribute to their continuous improvement and development.
We are keen to hear from customer focused, self-motivated, well organised IT/digital professionals with a passion for future state technologies, a strong blend of PMO and project management experience who can effectively support the delivery of digital/IT projects into business as usual within a digitally literate and demanding customer base operating in rapidly changing complex customer centric project environment.
