AWP Engagement Manager

The Strategic Planning Directorate’s goal is to achieve better decision-making across the institution from the analysis, advice and insight we provide, to the trusted relationships we build with stakeholders and the data quality, governance and infrastructure that underpins it. 

Recently reconfigured and expanded, now is a great time to join the Directorate as we look to enhance our contributions to delivering the University Strategy.

We are seeking an outstanding candidate to play a key role in the operational delivery of the University’s approach to academic workload planning (AWP). Working in close collaboration with the AWP System Administrator, they will provide hands-on support to academics in using the system and interpreting the associated framework and tariff. This will entail developing effective mechanisms for engagement, delivering regular training and tailoring support to the differing needs of line managers and direct reports. It is expected that the post-holder will play an active role in facilitating a workload allocator community of practice or forum/network.

The successful candidate will also work closely with colleagues in the People Directorate, Finance, Information and Library Services (encompassing IT) and Faculties in delivering ongoing operational training on the tool and ensuring effective management and governance processes are in place to support the successful implementation of the entire workload planning process. This will include supporting the integration of outputs from AWP in processes such as the Annual Planning and Budgeting Round.

We are a diverse and inclusive team of dedicated professionals who are committed and passionate about what we do. Our main office is on the Greenwich campus with occasional travel to our Avery Hill and Medway campuses required. We have actively embraced hybrid working with most of our staff splitting their time between the workplace and remote working.

We are seeking a dedicated and passionate professional with a shared commitment to our values of inclusivity, collaboration and impact. If you think this describes you and you want to make a difference, please apply.
