Job Description
Role Summary The University’s role as a Games Venue for sport and village will have a major impact on campus operations during the summer of 2022. The Project Manager will play a pivotal role in managing the logistical interfaces between various campus functions involved in and affected by the University’s commitment as a Commonwealth Games host venue. The main purpose of the role is to achieve 3 main outcomes: i) optimal effectiveness in the delivery of the University’s obligations to Birmingham 2022; ii) maximise the opportunities to the University from the Games (e.g. physical legacy to sport from temporary infrastructure); and iii) minimise the impact of hosting the Games on the University’s normal business operations. This is a crucial operational and integration role across many University functions. The role will support UoB functional leads in their effective collaboration with respective B2022 functional leads. The role will be embedded within Campus Services, with close interaction with other Professional Services such as Estates, IT Services and UoB Communications. However, the impact is campus-wide, and the purpose of this role is to minimise potential disruption to normal University operations of hosting the Games on campus, and optimise the opportunities, value and profile. The postholder’s ability to support the VOG and the University achieve those outcomes is critical. This is an 18-month project, with a high degree of focus and urgency on ensuring the pieces of a multi-dimensional jigsaw are joined up, and the impact of Games’ plans on normal campus operations is well managed, and the opportunities to the University are optimised. The role requires a detailed understanding and experience of project managing complex multi-functional events.
