Enterprise Application Specialist

Abertay is a modern university with a global outlook, rooted in its local and national communities. We are committed to high‑quality teaching and research, and to providing an inclusive, supportive environment for everyone who studies or works here.

IT Services is a collaborative and supportive department providing digital technology services for staff and students across the University. We are seeking an Enterprise Application Specialist to join our Enterprise Applications team.

Reporting to the Head of Enterprise Applications, you will support the operation, improvement and development of the University’s core enterprise systems. You will work with colleagues across the University to make sure these services are reliable, secure and meet business needs.

The systems you will support enable key functions, including:

• Student information
• Finance
• Learning and teaching
• Research

The main responsibilities of the role include:

• Supporting and maintaining enterprise applications, including Tribal SITS
• Investigating and resolving complex system issues
• Application development.
• Liaising with external suppliers when required
• Contributing to system upgrades, improvements and digital change initiatives
• Clear documentation and knowledge‑sharing are an important part of the role.

We are looking for applicants who can demonstrate the following skills and experience. If you meet most of the criteria and are excited about the role, we encourage you to apply.

• Experience supporting enterprise applications in a complex organisation
• Experience working with Tribal SITS
• Experience contributing to system improvement or digital transformation work
• Good problem‑solving and analytical skills
• The ability to communicate technical information clearly to a range of audiences
• The ability to organise work and manage priorities in a structured way

Experience may have been gained through a variety of career paths, including transferable experience from other sectors. We welcome applicants who meet most, but not necessarily all, of the criteria listed above. However, experience of working with Tribal SITS is essential for this role.

Abertay supports flexible working, hybrid working is preferred for this role and fully remote working may be considered. The University is committed to supporting staff with caring responsibilities and to providing reasonable workplace adjustments where needed.

Abertay is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. We encourage applications from groups that are currently under‑represented in digital and technology roles within higher education.
