The role

This is an exciting time to join IT as we work towards our vision to "empower colleagues and students to embrace University values, be successful in their endeavours and support the delivery of the University strategy through effective adoption and use of digital technologies". Our people are central to that ambition and this role provides the opportunity to make a difference to the experience, capability and success of colleagues delivering the University's digital service.

We have a number of Operations Managers to lead, coach, and develop many of our technical team members, ensuring they are engaged, motivated, and working in alignment with University and departmental objectives. Operations Managers work in partnership with Technical leads who provide task management and prioritisation and technical direction and leadership.

The Associate Operations Manager role is a developmental role where you will work alongside and receive support, guidance and mentoring from IT Operations Managers, other IT Managers and Technical Leads. The ideal candidate for Associate Operations Manager will be a passionate leader with some line management and team development experience, with the attributes and desire to build on this experience and develop in a people management role.

The role will provide the postholder with the experience and skills to apply for a higher graded management and leadership role when such an opportunity arises. This is a people management not a technical role and previous IT experience is a bonus rather than a requirement.

How you'll work

This role will be based on the university campus with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
