Technical Project Manager

About the Role

At the University of Bath, our digital vision goes beyond simply deploying technology—we aim to empower, enable, and connect our people to drive meaningful organisational, societal, and environmental change. We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Technical Project Manager to join our Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) department.

This role will lead a key workstream within the Cloud Enabling and Agresso Re-platforming (CLEAR) programme—an ambitious initiative to modernise the University’s finance systems and lay the groundwork for the future cloud-based solutions. 

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a rare opportunity to lead a high-impact, complex project that will shape the University’s digital future. You’ll be at the heart of a transformative programme, working with modern technologies, engaging a wide range of stakeholders, and delivering real change. If you enjoy solving complex challenges and want to make a lasting difference, this role offers the perfect platform.

Role Focus

You will manage the delivery of our new Integration Platform, ensuring seamless data exchange across systems. You’ll engage with business teams, manage stakeholders, coordinate with in-house technical resources and offshore tech partners to ensure timely project delivery.

In addition, you’ll contribute to the development of a Cloud Centre of Excellence, helping to shape a sustainable cloud operating model within DDaT and build the capabilities needed for future cloud migrations.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience delivering complex technical/IT projects in large organisations.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Excellent planning, organisational, and project management capabilities.
• Confidence in managing relationships across technical and non-technical teams.
• Experience with the deployment of data integration platforms. 
• Experience working as part of a project team.
• Ability to deal with ambiguity and complexity.

Our team consists of over 150 professionals dedicated to building the University’s digital foundations. This role is offered on a full-time, permanent basis, and hybrid working is available.

We consider ourselves to be a university where difference is celebrated, respected and encouraged. We have an excellent international reputation with staff from over 60 different nations and have made a positive commitment towards gender equality and intersectionality receiving a Silver Athena SWAN award. We truly believe that diversity of experience, perspectives, and backgrounds will lead to a better environment for our employees and students and encourage applications from all genders, backgrounds, and communities, particularly from under-represented groups, and value the positive impact that will have on the university. We are committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for our students, staff, and community by reinforcing our Safer Recruitment commitment.

We're very proud to be a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant. an accredited Disability Confident Leader; autism friendly university, committed to building disability confidence and supporting disabled staff.
