Student Data and Systems Technical Lead (Future Students)

About this role

The Student Administration service supports learning and teaching at UWE and helps enhance the student experience.

The Student Data and Systems community works together to join up our various business and system areas so that we do not work in siloes but contribute to a “Team UWE” approach to stewarding our student data and systems. We are seeking an SDS Technical Lead (Future Students) to join our team of technical leads.  This is an exciting role where you will have an opportunity to support the applicant student experience and help deliver efficient business processes.  

You will work closely with the Admissions and Events teams and our colleagues in Colleges and Schools, taking a lead role in stewarding our admissions (SITS Tribal) and events (Gecko) systems, ensuring a continuous improvement agenda is delivered. You will lead on system configuration and reporting requirements, and will work with the wider SDS team and IT technical staff to help us integrate our data and systems more effectively.

About you

Experience of delivering a data or systems management service in a complex organisation is key along with a strong ability to provide information stewardship and management of systems configuration, prioritising activities to ensure deadlines are met and that service enhancement is at the core of everything you do.  In this role, you will be instrumental in delivering a service that contributes to an excellent student experience.  Using your people skills, strong analytical and solution-focused skills, you will be exploring ways in which you can contribute to the wider data governance agenda and support the apprenticeship provision.
