One of Cardiff University’s priorities is Success for All, ensuring equality of opportunity and the promotion of HE for all.

We have recently refreshed the Cardiff University Widening Participation Strategy 2020-2025 and are now looking for a Project Manager to enable the realisation our ambitious strategic ambitions set out in the Strategy, working in partnership with experts and students across the University to do this.

The role holder will be responsible for the successful planning, execution, monitoring, control and closure of a project or set of projects in support of specific business strategies and objectives.

This specific appointment has arisen to turn the strategy into a plan for delivery to ensure intended outcomes are met and impact realised; to establish governance arrangements for effective decision-making and monitoring and identify the necessary resource to enable delivery.

The assignment may vary over time, and the role holder may be required to deliver other allocated projects should the need arise.

In order to achieve this they will be expected to:

• Define the project scope, goals and deliverables
• Lead the project planning, implementation and transition to operational support
• Determine, monitor, and review project costs, staff resource requirements, inter-dependencies and project risks
• Monitor and report on project progress to all key stakeholders

The role may also involve the line-management and leadership of staff in the role-holder’s domain.

This is a full-time, fixed-term position, until July 2024.

Salary: £43,434 - £50,296 per annum (Grade 7). Appointments will usually be at the bottom of the Grade.
