This is an internal recruitment advert, available to eligible UCL workers only.
The Deputy Director of Operations will make an impact and support with establishing effective professional services provision across the Faculty of Brain Sciences. The role holder will work closely with the Director of Operations to establish functional service level provision for our academic departments and work to establish consistency in our ways of working, professional development and best practice amongst Faculty professional services teams.
In addition to managing large teams as the need arises anywhere in the Faculty, the role holder will be tasked with initiating and autonomously managing a portfolio of short, medium and long-term projects to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operations, and embedding strong identification with the Faculty and institution amongst staff.
The Deputy Director of Operations will take a lead on identifying and supporting organisational change in any area of the Faculty, embedding strategic thinking and best practice across the whole of the Faculty. Close collaboration across the six academic departments in the Faculty is vital. This role has key responsibility to engage senior staff before and during change, ensuring all are equipped to support their staff in turn.
The role holder will work in tandem with the Director of Operations on large projects, sometimes extending beyond the boundaries of the Faculty, and through involvement in strategic institutional projects relevant to Life and Medical Sciences or the university as a whole.
The Deputy Director of Operations will report to the Director of Operations, but will work closely with the Dean and Deputy Dean, Vice-Deans and other senior academic and professional services colleagues across the Faculty and wider institution.
The postholder will be a role model for the UCL Ways of Working, Dignity at Work and take an active role in Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity activities.
A full job description and person specification for this role can be accessed below. To apply, please upload a current CV, complete the online application form, and use the supporting statement section or upload a cover letter to outline how you meet the essential and desirable criteria for the role. Please do not upload any additional attachments as these will not be considered by the selection panel.
The role holder will be a senior operations manager who can thrive in a complex organisation and is motivated to make a positive impact across UCL. Experience of working in a large, complex academic environment is essential. You will be confident in providing high-quality operational leadership including leading and managing organisational change processes, translating strategic plans into operational processes, and managing business administration such as estates, budget and people planning.
Alongside your experience, you will demonstrate excellent analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex data insights and communicate insights clearly to diverse audiences. You will be a confident problem-solver who can develop and implement practical solutions, drawing on sound judgement and an evidence-based approach. You will be highly organised and able to manage a complex workload with competing priorities. Strong interpersonal and communication skills are key: you will be able to communicate complex ideas in writing and in person and will have experience of leading and managing teams, enabling team members to deliver to the best of their ability.
We are looking for someone who is resilient and professional when faced with challenges, able to work independently but who also thrive as part of a team. Most importantly, you will contribute to a collaborative and inclusive culture, working closely with colleagues across the Faculty and able to build and maintain effective working relationships.
This role does not meet the eligibility requirements for a Skilled Worker Visa certificate of sponsorship under UK Visas and Immigration legislation. Therefore UCL will not be able to sponsor individuals who require right to work in the UK to carry out this role.
As London's Global University, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent the diversity of the world's talent. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where we all belong.
We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in UCL's workforce.
These include people from Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds; disabled people; LGBTQI+ people; and for our Grade 9 and 10 roles, women.
