Based within the Programme Management Office (PMO) in the Information Services Directorate, you will join a team of experienced project professionals delivering a diverse portfolio of digital transformation and business change initiatives that support the University’s Strathclyde 2030 strategy.

In addition to leading delivery of this high-profile project, you will contribute to the continued development of project management practice across the institution, helping to identify opportunities for improvement and supporting colleagues through coaching and guidance. Working with stakeholders at all levels, you will play a key role in delivering successful organisational change.
