Director of Management Information Services Division

The University is seeking a high calibre individual to take on the challenge of leading and developing the progression of the Management Information Services Division.

The Director will play a key role in the efficient and effective running of the Division at a strategic and operational level, leading the co-ordinated approach to major complex projects. Developing close working relationships in this complex environment and gaining buy-in to a co-ordinated approach is key to the effectiveness and reputation of the Division. A track record of leadership of Information Systems/Services within a private or public sector organization of equivalent complexity is essential. The successful candidate will be capable of giving strategic direction to the Division, underpinned by up-to-date knowledge of technology, and will be experienced in leading complex projects in a climate of change. Higher education experience is not essential, although an empathy with its values is vital. Of greater importance is the ability to develop effective relationships and influence decisions with a broad range of interested parties.
