Leicester, United Kingdom University of Leicester Recruitment Team Full time

**About the role**:
This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and proactive person to join the management team of the DiRAC High Performance Computing (HPC) facility and add real value by leading and coordinating the operations of our Project Office.

DiRAC and the University of Leicester are keen to support the career development of all staff. There will be opportunities for training to support the career development of the successful applicant, both within Leicester and in collaboration with other DiRAC partners.

This position is being advertised by the University of Leicester and the successful applicant will be an employee of the University of Leicester. However, as DiRAC is a distributed facility, the position is open to remote workers and there is no requirement to relocate as part of the role. We envisage there will be periodic travel for face-to-face meetings and events, and DiRAC will pay reasonable travelling expenses for these.

**About you**:
You will have:

- Experience of leading, motivating and managing staff to effectively achieve objectives.
- Substantial experience in a senior administrative management role in the higher education sector, including holding a formal PM qualification such as PRINCE2, AGILE or SCRUM.
- Demonstrated ability to analyse the requirements of a project design and to develop and plan activities accordingly.
- Excellent organizational skills, with the ability to work highly independently, prioritise competing demands and manage own and team’s changing objectives and workload.
- A high level of interpersonal skills, the ability to relate well to staff at all levels.

**Additional information**:
When completing your supporting statement, please tell us, using examples, how you meet the essential criteria listed in the job description.

The University of Leicester has been changing the world, and changing people’s lives, for 100 years. When you join us, you’ll become part of a community of Citizens of Change, which includes not only our staff and our current students but also thousands of Leicester graduates around the world.
