Dundee, Dundee City, United Kingdom Abertay University Full time

Abertay is a modern university with a global outlook, rooted in its local and national communities. We have made our mark with high quality, well-directed teaching and research, and a stimulating and enriching experience for our students.

An important part of Abertay University's commitment to data-driven decision-making is investment in the institution's Data and Information Governance to unlock the value within our corporate data, information and records and to ensure effective protection of our information assets. InfoSmart is a long-term data, information and records management project that will significantly change and improve the way the University stores and manages data, files and records. It affects all staff and will implement a sector leading change to the data accuracy and record-keeping culture at Abertay.

The University now seeks to appoint a Data and Information Governance Officer. This is a new role at the heart of the University to promote and support the governance of data and information.

Reporting to the Head of Governance and Deputy Secretary, as a key member of our InfoSmart project team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our data and information management practices and establishing a data governance function as well as assisting with the implementation and management of a robust and user-friendly system for managing the information and records of the University from their creation, through their usage, to their disposal (destruction or transfer to archives). Due to the scale and complexity of the InfoSmart project, the focus of the role will vary at times in line with the project plan.

You will have a strong understanding of data and information governance principles, strong analytical skills, experience creating reports and documentation that make data governance and/ or records management understandable for everyone and 1-3 years' experience working in a data or information-related role.

If you believe you have the skills and experience for this exciting and challenging role, please submit your application through our online recruitment system, which can be found (via the 'Apply' button above).

Please note that we will only accept applications through our online recruitment system.
