About this role
The University of the West of England (UWE) is seeking an experienced and highly motivated Programme Manager to play a pivotal role in the strategic and operational delivery of DRAGoN’s ambitious programme of data and analytical research.
The postholder will support the successful delivery of investments from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). These projects encompass data curation, policy-relevant research, training, and capacity building. A substantial amount of project time is dedicated to engagement with the public and with stakeholders across academia and government.
Working across a major multi-institutional partnership, you will provide leadership and coordination across the programme, with responsibility for programme and project management, financial oversight, governance, risk management, reporting and operational delivery. You will work closely with academic and professional services colleagues and external partners to ensure that activities, resources, milestones and outputs are effectively coordinated and successfully delivered.
We are looking for an organised, proactive and collaborative individual with significant experience of managing complex programmes or projects, excellent stakeholder-management skills and the ability to work effectively across organisational boundaries. This is an exciting opportunity to take a central role in delivering a high-profile research programme with the potential to make a significant contribution to research, policy and practice.
