About The Role
For informal enquiries, please contact Dan Derricott (Director of Education Policy and Quality) at dan.derricott@warwick.ac.uk.
This role is a central part of our expanding Curriculum Management Team, which aims to enhance how we oversee the curriculum from start to finish.
You will establish and lead the Curriculum Records element of the team. Through your leadership, you'll ensure a strong emphasis on improving data quality, leveraging and advancing our systems, managing annual curriculum planning cycles, and providing excellent service experiences.
As we move forward, your role will include acting as a bridge and facilitator between other specialist teams at the University. You'll help guarantee that high-quality curriculum data is entered once by users, maintained, and then seamlessly distributed through technical integrations for repeated use.
You'll also directly oversee some downstream process improvements, such as creating and rolling out a unified solution for students to select their optional modules and enabling academic departments to confirm these choices.
These initiatives offer opportunities to lay stronger foundations for delivering outstanding education and student experiences at the University, giving the successful candidate significant influence over our approach and the chance to make a lasting impact.
Flexible Working
- We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis (e.g. job share), despite the position being advertised as full-time.
About You
The ideal candidate should have substantial experience in enhancing and delivering services within student administration, quality assurance, or student systems – roles that demand technical skill, attention to detail, and confidence in managing large-scale, data-driven processes.
In this position, you’ll be expected to show or develop strong leadership, service improvement, and change management abilities to help us better manage the curriculum across our large, diverse, and decentralised university.
