The postholder would work closely with the PMO Programme Manager, Head of PMO and senior management colleagues to help shape and implement BU 2035 Programme and other projects as required.
The purpose of this role is two-fold: (a) to provide effective support, oversight and organisation of cross-institutional change projects (for example BU 2035); (b) to contribute to the design, development and implementation of strategic projects run within the PMO.
The Project Officer plays a key role in supporting the Project Management Office (PMO), ensuring the smooth delivery of projects across the university. The role involves managing central project records, creating and coordinating complex schedules and resources, producing high-quality project papers, and proactively facilitating communication and decision making between project teams and the wider business.
The role requires strong organisational understanding, the ability to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels to ensure project activities are well-coordinated and delivered in line with deadlines and organisational objectives.
Active and ongoing engagement with professional service staff, Faculties and schools as well as external stakeholders will be a central element of the role.
