Research and
Innovation Services (RIS) provides guidance, expert advice and
hands-on support for all aspects of research and research-related
work, including securing funding, working with partners,
undertaking knowledge exchange, demonstrating impact,
commercialising outputs, ensuring good research practice and
supporting professional development.
Durham has ambitious plans to grow
our institutional research and research-related income and
recognise that to enable this we need to make significant
investments in our research community and environment, including in
the leadership and support for strategic initiatives. We have
therefore created a brand-new role for Research and Innovation
Services in Durham, the Senior Strategic Projects Manager, who will
provide vital support and leadership as we seek to develop and
drive forward our portfolio of strategic institutional
projects.
We are looking for a very proactive
candidate with strong project management skills and an ability to
work with a diverse array of stakeholders. The post will be line
managed by the Director of Research Development and Operations who
will support the post-holder in agreeing priorities for their
portfolio, with an expectation that the post-holder will manage
multiple projects and processes at any one time. When appointed the
individual will inherit a small number of existing projects, with
an expectation that they will then manage these (either to
submission or to close) whilst identifying other potential projects
to be picked up as part of their portfolio.
The Senior Strategic Projects
Manager will work closely with various teams within RIS including
the Research Development, Partnerships and Engagement, and
Commercialisation and Economic Development teams. They will be
expected to build strong working relationships with a number of
academic teams across the different faculties of the university.
They will also be expected to build strong working relationships
with other professional service directorates across Durham
including (for example) the Strategy Delivery Unit (SDU),
International Office, and Development and Alumni Relations Office
(DARO).
The role will be varied, and we hope
it will be of interest to colleagues from a variety of
backgrounds.
