About Us

The role sits within the University’s Research Strategy and Operations (RSO) Directorate, which has responsibility for research support functions spanning strategy, policy, governance, funding, partnership building, and impact. Developing highly functional relationships is an integral part of how we work, and we strive to provide a high-quality service to our academic community. We are working hard to build a positive, supportive, and enabling culture which includes a diverse team with a mix of experiences and backgrounds. We operate on a hybrid basis (normally 3 days a week on campus and 2 days a week working from home). Being co-located with other members of the team is an important part of building relationships, sharing intelligence and ideas, and feeling part of something real; in this role, it will also be important to spend time with other key professional service teams (e.g. HR, Finance, Post-Award, Global), as well as engaging with external stakeholders. We know that everyone has their own needs and preferences in terms of working arrangements, and we endeavour to ensure that our hybrid model works for different individuals.
