Senior Delivery Manager

Swansea campus (hybrid working with travel to other locations as necessary)

The University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) traces its heritage back to the first university in Wales, receiving its Royal Charter in 1828 and is honoured to have His Majesty King Charles III as Royal Patron.

UWTSD now teaches over 16,000 students across its six campuses in the UK; four in Wales and two in England. It has long-standing international educational partnerships in Europe, China, Malaysia, the USA and elsewhere. 

Our aim is to transform education, and by doing so transform the lives of the individuals and the communities we serve. We are already recognised for providing an outstanding student experience:

• 1st in Wales and joint 3rd in the UK for Student Satisfaction (Times Higher Education, July 2024)
• 1st in Wales for 7 subjects and Top 10 in the UK for 3 subjects (Guardian University League Table 2024)

Our success is due to the commitment, skill, knowledge, and ability of our people working together. We are now building on this strong culture and provision to become a leading provider of accessible higher education.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Delivery Manager, who will be responsible for, overseeing and optimising the end-to-end delivery of the University’s website roadmap using both agile and waterfall methodologies. The roadmap includes interdependent projects, products, and services. The post is full time (37 hours) for 12 months, with the potential to extend.

You will play a leading role in ensuring the successful execution of initiatives, meeting defined business objectives and enhancing operational efficiency through large-scale releases or product developments. You will lead and support colleagues across content (Marketing) and technical (Digital Creativity & Learning) teams in the activities associated with the planning, implementation and continuous improvement of products and projects and will directly manage the most complex and contentious activities yourself.

You will need to have a degree level qualification or equivalent plus considerable experience in a relevant role(s), as well as practitioner level qualifications in Project/Programme Management including Agile project management qualifications and relevant certifications (e.g. PfMP, PMP, PgMP). The role requires proven senior delivery management experience, with a significant portion in a senior or leadership role, together with a demonstrable track record of delivering SEO projects to meet objectives, on time and on budget.

Experience of working in Higher Education is desirable, as is the ability to understand and respond to basic greetings in Welsh such as ‘Good Morning’ and ‘Thank You’.
