- Own and optimise Raiser’s Edge NXT and related platforms, ensuring compliance with UK GDPR and other regulations.
- Deliver insights and reporting that empower colleagues across the institution to make strategic, data-driven decisions.
- Champion governance and compliance, ensuring data quality, security, and resilience.
- Collaborate and influence across the University, representing Advancement in cross-institutional initiatives and equipping colleagues to self-serve data and insights.
- Balance strategy and execution—from setting long-term direction to personally delivering high-impact technical projects.
If you’re excited by the challenge of leading strategically while delivering hands-on technical impact, we’d love to hear from you.
About you
We’re looking for someone who brings:
- Extensive experience with relational databases (Raiser’s Edge knowledge is a plus).
- A proven track record of delivering complex IT and change management projects.
- Strong leadership skills, with experience managing teams and developing strategies.
- Expertise in data protection, compliance, and governance.
- Technical fluency in business intelligence platforms (Power BI experience an advantage).
- Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels.
