About the vacancy:
The University has an ambitious 2030 people strategy and we are seeking an experienced HR Data and Systems Manager to lead our systems development, advance our processes in line with business need and grow our data and MI capability via our HR System (MHR iTrent).
As we embark on our new strategy you will have an exciting opportunity to support our HR Teams through this challenging and ambitious journey. Leading a small team, you will report to the Assistant Director of People (Staff Journey) and be responsible for the planning and organising of a busy office environment to ensure that you deliver consistent and effective insight, technical support and customer service.
You will collaborate with HR teams and other stakeholders to fully understand needs, support data reporting and deliver projects to agreed timescales, thus enabling better decision-making across the organisation.
