This pivotal position presents an excellent opportunity to become part of the expanding professional strategic planning team at the core of the University.

You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the new Academic Workload Allocation Framework, which serves as guidance for managers in assigning tasks to academic staff, along with workload activities and tariffs, and the Simitive Workload Allocation Management System (WAMS), including the calculations that drive the system and its data interactions with other University systems.


As the internal system owner, you will be responsible for formulating policies and processes for workload management and collaborating with internal stakeholders and peer institutions to identify and implement best practices in workload management. You will also provide support to the University’s governance group, senior management, and individual academic staff across the institution.

You should also have a proven track record of building and maintaining successful working relationships, as well as experience in balancing priorities and managing competing stakeholder interests.


Excellent IT skills and proficiency with common software applications, including online tools for hybrid working arrangements, are required, along with strong organizational skills and effective communication abilities, demonstrating tact and diplomacy when engaging with multiple stakeholders across the University.
