About the role

The Senior Space & Asset Manager will be responsible for ensuring the availability of fit for purpose teaching and student facing spaces across the full range of degree types, subject areas, and associated support services. In the short term this involves working with key stakeholders in Estates to develop a planned improvement programme which the role holder will be responsible for co-ordinating and managing against a pre-determined budget.

Reporting to the Head of Space & Asset Management and working with colleagues from multiple Schools and Directorates, the role holder will ensure there are sufficient teaching spaces to meet the growth targets. They will also lead the development of new design standards for teaching spaces and be the subject matter expert feeding into all projects that update or improve them.

The role holder will liaise with key academic stakeholders to ensure these solutions meet pedagogic and support requirements.

A significant proportion of the role will involve gathering, analysing and interpreting data to create regular as well as ad-hoc reports. This need drives an associated need to develop processes and a reporting framework that allows us to quickly and easily bring forward data driven recommendations for approval.
