We are looking for an experienced HR Project Manager to set the aspirations and pace of our many future fit projects. You will be able to demonstrate a proven record of developing, managing, leading, and delivering significant projects within agreed timeframes. You will collaborate with the HR Director and the Executive Team to set this agenda. To aide this, you will have the autonomy and flexibility to work on our Hybrid 50/50 working environment. Naturally, there will be the opportunity to partner with other colleagues within the HR Division and throughout the University to ensure we are one team.

About you….

With your experience in HR and its Policies, you will use your Leadership skills to direct, plan, and manage Projects that focus on our Academic Career Framework, improving our pay and terms & conditions, EDI and OD projects designed to achieve our ambition of becoming an Employer of Choice. You will lead in coordinating and keeping up to date with various activities that will contribute to success.
