Nottingham, United Kingdom University of Nottingham Full time

Hosted by the School of Economics at the University of Nottingham, the Bank of England’s Decision Maker Panel (DMP) is a regular survey of UK businesses, which is used by the Bank of England to monitor developments in the economy. Established in 2016, the DMP is funded by the Economic & Social Research Council and the project is led by Principal Investigator, Prof. Paul Mizen, Vice Dean (Research) & Professor in Economics, King’s Business School. The research grant is administered by Kings College London.

We are now looking for a Project Operations Manager to manage the DMP office in the School of Economics at Nottingham. 

The purpose of the role is to provide administrative leadership and management to ensure the effective operation of a small contact centre that recruits survey participants from the Chief Financial Officers of small, medium and large UK businesses. Line managing a flexible team of around 20 part-time staff, the role holder will, in consultation with the Principal Investigator, work independently to deliver strategic resource and operational planning, financial administration, quality assurance and regulatory compliance consistent with the requirements of the project. 

You will have significant operational management and business planning skills, including experience of leading and motivating a team. Your excellent communication skills, proven analytical and problem-solving capability and excellent customer relationship skills will enable you to collaborate effectively with both internal and external colleagues and teams. The role requires regular contact with colleagues at the Bank of England.

An eye for detail, financial management skills, a flexible approach to working and competent IT skills are essential for the role, which will also require you to interpret and manipulate data, and produce graphs and other presentation formats using advanced Excel techniques. Experience of website content editing and publication would be an advantage, as you will be responsible for maintaining the project website (www.decsionmakerpanel.co.uk).

As this full-time role (36.25 hours per week) is grant-funded, it is available on a fixed term contract until 19 March 2026 when the current grant is due for renewal. Job share arrangements may be considered.

Requests for secondment from internal candidates may be considered on the basis that prior agreement has been sought from both your current line manager and the manager of your substantive post, if you are already undertaking a secondment role.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Andrew Elliott, (andrew.elliott@nottingham.ac.uk). Please note that applications sent directly to this email address will not be accepted.
