Bangor University is a globally engaged institution that is deeply rooted in North Wales. We have consolidated our position as a research-intensive University, with a Research Excellence Framework performance in REF2021 that placed us second in Wales and 42nd in the UK. Our strategic plan, Strategy 2030, is necessarily growth-oriented, so that we can invest to further improve our excellent student experience and grow our world-leading research. The establishment of the North Wales Medical School is a critical initiative during the lifetime of our strategy which will support the regional medical and health workforce and increase the University’s research capacity and the growth of the regional life sciences sector. Applications are invited for this permanent, full-time post working in the Strategy, Projects & Planning team. Duties will include the operational management of the planning and performance team, covering the following portfolio: strategic and business planning, risk assurance, business intelligence, market insight, and statutory data returns; development and implementation of effective business planning and performance monitoring processes for the University; providing expert support and advice to senior managers in relation to the planning and performance portfolio; and playing a key role in data analysis and reporting. Candidates should possess a postgraduate degree in a relevant subject area and/or have significant relevant experience to the role. The successful candidate will be expected to commence as soon as possible. The ability to communicate in Welsh is desirable for this post. This role will be located on campus at Bangor.
