About the role

The Space Manager role will strengthen the existing space management capabilities within the team providing much needed resilience and bandwidth for innovation.

Reporting to the Head of Space & Asset Management, the role holder will have overall responsibility for the quality, accuracy and availability of space related data for the entire Estate. The viability of this data is closely linked to the roll out of a new Computer Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) system. The successful roll out of the system and embedding of new processes will form a large part of the role during the first year.

In the short term we look to this role to ensure the quality and timeliness of our statutory reporting by stabilising processes and establishing a robust and efficient schedule of reports. Beyond this, the role holder will be responsible for delivering enhanced approaches to reporting and space management enabling us to significantly improve our offering, particularly in terms of longer term planning and strategy development.

The role is a highly collaborative one with multiple key stakeholders within the Estates directorate and across the wider organisation. It also has line management responsibility for a junior Space Management & Data Officer.

About you

You will have significant skill in managing processes and influencing people. You will be a team player with the ability to work with stakeholders at all levels and from all parts of the University organisation.

Educated to degree level, you will have additional qualifications in Space Management and/or reporting tools such as PowerBi, Tableau or Crystal Reports. You will have substantial experience working in Space Management roles for large and complex organisations, ideally with some experience in various methods for monitoring and measuring utilisation.

You will be able to demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement and will have experience of developing and embedding space policy and standards.
You will have good communication and interpersonal skills, responding with flexibility to shifting priorities and changes in the urgency of allocated tasks.
