Interim Head of the Academic Planning Office

4 weeks ago

Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

In order to strengthen the linkage between financial planning and analysis and the wider academic University two new roles are being established. An interim Head of Academic Planning will be appointed to establish a new office in the Academic Division which, working closely with colleagues in the Finance Division including the new Head of Management Reporting, will lead on academic planning and business intelligence. Simplifying our management structure will help us strengthen financial planning, oversight and programme delivery at the University. We now seek to appoint an Interim Head of Academic Planning to play a key role in supporting the set up and implementation of a new Academic Planning and Business Intelligence Office.

The Interim Head of Academic Planning will be responsible for leading the University's academic planning function and overseeing the annual planning cycle, ensuring alignment with the University's strategic priorities. This will involve supporting the work of the University's Planning and Resource Committee (PRC) and working closely with Schools and Non-School Institutions to define and calibrate their short and long-term academic objectives, providing information to support critical decision making. The Interim Head of Academic Planning will provide the University, and senior colleagues, with expert and objective advice on planning and budgeting, capital planning and projects and non-financial management information and analysis. Additionally, this role will oversee the Business Information and Strategic Insights Team, to provide key management information and ensure compliance with external regulatory requirements.

The Interim Head of Academic Planning will work very closely with the Interim Head of Management Reporting to ensure that the academic and financial elements of planning remain closely aligned, working jointly to manage the Academic and Financial Planning Analysis team and define optimum reporting lines in advance of the two roles being filled on a permanent basis.

The ideal candidate for this role will have a deep understanding of the higher education sector and the University, with a broad range of academic, economic, financial and commercial exposure. In addition, candidates will have extensive experience of planning and analysis, with a deep understanding of risk analysis and the associated impact on business and financial projections. Demonstrable experience of leading high-performing teams, and the ability to develop strong and proactive relationships with senior stakeholders will be key.

Applications for these roles are open to current employees of the University of Cambridge only, on the basis of a secondment from their current role at the University.

We welcome applications from individuals who wish to be considered for part-time working or other flexible working arrangements.

For further information or an informal contact Michael Glover ().

Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a basic disclosure (criminal records check) check and a security check.

We are also recruiting to the Interim Head of Management Reporting Role.
