We support them to shape and fulfil their ambitions and to achieve outstanding outcomes.

We are in a period of exciting change and development for the University and the Senior Compliance Manager plays an important role in supporting our ambitions.

You will lead and support institutional compliance within the context of evolving internal and external developments, working in collaboration with Academic Section teams and managers, Faculties, Academic Departments & Schools, and other Professional Services teams. You will provide leadership and management for the International Services team, a 14-strong team with responsibility for the day to day oversight of our student immigration compliance. You will deliver training and briefings to students, colleagues and teams, provide effective budget management and support the resolution and escalation of complex student casework. As a senior manager, you will also contribute to the successful operation of the Academic Section. Reporting directly to the Academic Registrar, you will manage your team’s staffing structure, its pay and non-pay budgets and ensure responsive, effective and customer-focused processes and services in your areas of responsibility.

Skills and qualifications required

You will bring to the role a combination of relevant management experience within a complex organisation with demonstrable experience and an excellent understanding of UK Higher Education immigration compliance requirements. The ability to think strategically while balancing operational delivery is essential. Your attention to detail will be important, combined with excellent interpersonal and communication skills. You will be tactful with a demonstrable ability to exercise effective judgement and a strong sense of empathy for both academic endeavour and values and the positive contribution professional activities make to the University.
