U Law - Project Manager

Our Digital Transformation

The University of Law is entering a pivotal period of transformation; accelerating growth in an ever more competitive world to attract students globally, with intensive imperatives on widening access and reducing differences in outcomes related to our students’ backgrounds. Naturally, student expectations are rightly rising with ever heightened perceptions of how their money is being used and what they want for it. At the same time, the University is quickly adapting to changes in the Higher Education sector around regulatory regimes and funding. One of the University’s strengths is its focus on internationalism in our education and employability offer and also the focus on cutting-edge facilities and environments, blending our physical and online learning and working environments. Delivering world-class digital services, skills and capabilities is an integral part of the University of Law’s ambitious strategy for the next 5 years, underpinning every stage of the student journey from recruitment through to teaching and learning to graduation and beyond. Sector-leading IT tools and solutions enable our academic and professional services teams to deliver high quality, flexible learning experiences with the convenience to study where, when and how our students want. Over the next two years, IT will transform our digital landscape, replacing legacy solutions and implementing innovative new technologies and the IT Projects and Change teams play a critical role in this. Working with the Director of IT Innovation and Programme Delivery, the team of project managers, business analysts and business intelligence experts work closely with stakeholders across the University to identify critical needs, design fit for purpose solutions and implement them effectively. Team expertise in project management, data analytics and business analysis is coupled with strong stakeholder skills, focus on delivering high quality services and a passion for innovative ideas and approaches. This fixed term role is an excellent opportunity to experience life at a sector-leading Higher Education organisation, ideal not only for candidates who already have HE experience and are interested in working at a more commercially-focused institution but also for candidates from a commercial background who wish to move into education.
