A well-known university is seeking to recruit a Project Delivery Lead / Project Manager to implement a Salesforce-based student registry for a London university’s Education programme as distance-learning degrees transition in-house. The solution will support core registry processes, remain distinct from the main school registry and integrate with wider university systems, maintaining consistent student data.
Key responsibilities:
- Own delivery from requirements refinement and implementation-partner procurement through supplier management, integration, testing and go-live.
- Challenge proposed solutions and unnecessary bespoke development, ensuring standard functionality is used where appropriate.
- Manage academic, registry, finance and technology stakeholders, making routine decisions independently and escalating when needed.
Required experience:
- Strong project delivery leadership with strong knowledge of university registry processes and student information systems such as SITS, Banner, Technology One or Quercus.
- Procurement, supplier oversight and confident stakeholder management are essential.
- Salesforce experience is desirable rather than essential; registry expertise and the ability to challenge implementation partners are the priority.
Contract details:
- Dedicated day-rate contractor, initially around 12 months with potential flexibility.
- £680 per day, expected outside IR35, subject to final assessment.
- Two – Three office days per week in London; not fully remote.
Please note – we are not able to consider you for the role without the relevant registry / student systems experience.
