The University of Nottingham is a research-intensive university with campuses in three countries, in Nottingham in the UK, in Ningbo in China and in Semenyih in Malaysia. We have over 48000 students across all three campuses and more than 8000 staff in the UK alone.  We have ambitious plans to improve quality across a range of activities: Education, Research, People as well as Economic and Environmental Sustainability, and to be in the top quartile in the sector for most of these activities by 2027/28.

 You will be:

• Experienced in managing and coordinating projects and change, with a sound understanding of project management methodologies and techniques.
• Able to quickly establish your credibility and form positive and sound working relationships, interacting with a divergent mix of people and personalities. 
• An effective communicator, able to influence and negotiate effectively at all levels.
• A strong planner, able to organise and motivate teams.
• Able to work accurately and efficiently under pressure managing your time effectively, delivering results in time and to a high standard.

 What’s in it for you?

• A dynamic, fast paced, innovative team environment.
• The support you need to nurture your talent, develop and reach your professional and personal career goals. 
• Competitive employment packages whilst supporting the well-being of our staff to help them reach their full potential
