Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

Part-time: 60% FTE job share

This is an exciting opportunity to join the senior leadership team of the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) at the University of Oxford. The OII is a multidisciplinary research and teaching department dedicated to the social science of the Internet. 

The OII is seeking to trial a new job-sharing approach for the key departmental role of Head of Administration and Finance (‘HAF’). The existing postholder will reduce their hours to 0.6 FTE and will share the role equally with a new postholder. This opportunity is offered as a fixed-term role for nine months to trial this arrangement. Applications for secondment (internally and externally) are also welcome. If the arrangement is a success, there may be the opportunity for a contract extension or permanent position.

The HAF is central to the management and leadership of the Institute, with both strategic and operational responsibilities. Working closely with the Director and other senior academic colleagues, the joint HAFs will play a key role in the Institute’s strategic planning. Jointly leading the team of administrative staff (currently 27 FTE), together you will oversee the administration and finance for professional services including finance, HR, research support, student and teaching support, facilities, IT, safety, and communications. 

We’re looking for someone with proven management, leadership and teamwork skills, with substantial experience of financial management, planning, and HR management for a diverse workforce. An effective communicator, you will manage high quality support services for academic staff, researchers, and students. You will be able to think creatively, and have the analytical skills and judgement to make important decisions in a complex environment. Experience of working in a higher education or related environment is an advantage.

For informal enquiries about this post, please contact the Social Sciences Division HR Team at recruitment@socsci.ox.ac.uk   

Please apply for this vacancy online. The closing date for applications is midday on Friday 6th September 2024. It is anticipated that interviews will be held on Monday 23rd September 2024.

Committed to equality and valuing diversity
