Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

The Department of Materials at Oxford University is seeking to appoint a Head of Administration and Finance (HAF) to lead and manage its administrative operations, supporting the Department’s academic mission. The HAF is responsible for all administrative areas including Finance, HR, IT, Academic Administration, Facilities and Safety; the post holder will lead the various administrative sections in conjunction with senior managers in these areas.

The role of Head of Administration and Finance is an exciting and demanding one, offering the opportunity to help shape the Department while ensuring that the existing and diverse strengths of the Department continue to flourish.

Departments in Oxford University are highly autonomous units, with management responsibilities devolved to them from the University to the maximum extent possible. Together with the Head of Department, and as part of the senior management team, the HAF will be proactive in contributing to the development of future strategic, financial and business plans, and in securing external funding for the Department.

For full details of the post and information on applying, please see the attached job description.

Interviews are scheduled to take place at the Department of Materials week commencing 10 July 2023 and you must be available during this time in person. Please note in normal circumstances only interview travel expenses within the UK will be reimbursed.
