We are looking for a Data Manager with experience of working with large and sensitive data sets and an ability to capture and develop technical data requirements for a range of internal and external consumers.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are crucial, with the ability to work effectively with data providers and consumers alike. You should be flexible, adapting workstreams and priorities effectively in an emerging data landscape.
You will support the preparation of large sensitive data sets to make it research ready; an awareness of data management principles, data science, computer science, or data analytical methods and techniques would be an advantage.
You will work alongside technical teams providing advice and guidance in line with external frameworks and standards (e.g., GDPR), therefore knowledge, and preferably experience of navigating sophisticated information governance processes will be advantageous.
Ideally you will have experience of conducting or supporting multiple simultaneous projects and the confidence to resolve conflicting priorities from a range of stakeholders. This includes senior academic and professional staff, students, external partners and members of the public.

dedication to supporting sector leading learning, teaching and research – and that’s why we
need you.
We are committed to enabling employees to work in a hybrid model with flexibility over when,
where and how to achieve the required outputs, in discussion with your manager.
The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, generous Pension
Scheme and annual leave entitlement, and access to a range of learning and development
