Cardiff, United Kingdom Cardiff Metropolitan University Full time

The opportunity

This is a key post that will contribute to the ambitions of the University’s Strategic Plan /23 – /30. Specifically, it will achieve a step change in the way that we support staff to develop their research and innovation careers, with a particular focus on post-award matters.

The primary focus of this role will be the provision of post-award contract support, allowing Research & Innovation Services (RIS) to provide an integrated contract development and delivery support service. Working closely with the other R&I Officers and RIS colleagues, this post will provide an interface between academic schools, Finance and RIS support teams to facilitate an integrated pre- and post-award service ensuring continuity throughout the process. You will provide critical, underpinning operational support to ensure that Cardiff Met’s research and innovation community is fully engaged with, and benefitting from, opportunities arising from the rapidly evolving funding landscape. Whilst the focus of the role is the provision of contract support, there may also be the opportunity to contribute pre-award, including with regards awareness raising, proposal development, project costing and related matters.

You will be an enthusiastic and friendly professional with excellent communication and interpersonal skills coupled with a commitment to providing an excellent student experience.

What you’ll do – key duties

Act as a key liaison and information point, providing advice and support in respect of research and innovation post-award matters. You will provide complex and regularly-changing information, both verbally and in writing, to Schools and support units regarding R&I projects, with a particular focus on contracts and post-award issues. Act as, where appropriate, the point of contact for the development of collaborative contracts, particularly those where Cardiff Met is the lead partner, or the agreements are multi-party. Negotiate, draft and recommend agreements with external customers, including price, balancing commercial and academic interests with acceptable commercial and legal risks to the University. Analyse and interpret contract terms and conditions, ensuring that contractual terms meet University requirements and advising on their impact and associated risk and liability to staff at all levels. Liaise with the University’s external lawyers and relevant colleagues across the University to provide clear, pragmatic advice on the implications of contractual terms, and how to manage the activity in context and ensuring that all aspects of an activity are covered in the contract. Prepare and keep under review standard contracts and associated legal documents for all aspects of research and innovation activity. Work closely with RIS colleagues and school-based support teams to identify the focus of post-award support requirements and hold start-up meetings for complex and / or large research and innovation projects, including: forecasting budgets, identification of milestones and project deliverables, funder reporting, invoicing requirements etc... Ensure project data is accurately recorded to provide regular management information reports as required. Maintain both awareness and understanding of changes to external funders’ contractual practices, terms and conditions, and in particular their policies concerning matters pertinent within the academic research and innovation context. Contribute to development and maintenance of operational procedures and policies, including the preparation of new template agreements and guidance as required etc.
