We are a university with a national and international reputation for excellence, innovation, and regional engagement, making a major contribution to the economic, social, and cultural development of Northern Ireland. Our core business activities are teaching and learning, widening access to education, research and innovation and technology and knowledge transfer.

- THE ROLE -

Ulster University is committed to advancing its digital transformation agenda, moving towards a paper-lite environment and adopting a digital-first approach across all business processes. This initiative aligns with the University’s People, Place and Partnerships Strategy (2023) and the Digital Services Directorate’s Operating Plan.

The postholder will have a strong technical background and experience in the delivery and implementation of business process automation solutions. The Digital Innovation team operates within the Digital Programme & Innovation Office (DPIO) which is part of the wider Digital Services Directorate.

- Experience of developing business applications using Microsoft Power Platform or similar business process automation technologies.
- Experience of creating test scripts and executing software test plans.
- Experience of providing L2/3 software support to end users.
- Demonstrable ability to identify problems, evaluate and define possible solutions, and implement those solutions in code.
- Ability to produce high-quality training materials and deliver training to a range of stakeholders.
- Willingness to travel to meet the needs of the post, and to attend campuses out of hours, on occasion, to deal with matters of high priority.
