  • An excellent understanding of the regulatory landscape and statutory obligations faced by HEIs, including the requirements of the Office for Students.
  • An ability to develop at pace expertise and understanding of areas of risk, resilience, compliance and assurance that may be new to the postholder and to harness and apply the skills and expertise of colleagues in these areas.
  • Effective communication skills and the ability to build networks and relationships and to motivate and influence colleagues to invest time and implement policy and procedures in areas related to the post holder's portfolio.
  • Knowledge and understanding of UKVI regulations and requirements in relation to the student route.
  • A track record of leading successful development and effective implementation of organisation wide policies and procedures in collaboration with colleagues at all levels and in a way that supports equality, diversity and inclusion.
  • An ability to compile and interpret large, complex data sets to support evidence-based decision-making, risk management and assurance provision.
  • A technology focused approach to working – working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Teams, Sharepoint) and ability to deploy innovative ways of utilising IT and software solutions.
  • Flexible and resilient working practices.
