Information Services Manager

The role holder is responsible for the planning, development and management of Departmental information services, in particular administrative systems, databases and Web sites, and their integration with Departmental business processes and University-wide information services. The role holder is crucial to the support of IT Services for the Department's administration, and is assisted in this by the Database Applications Developer.

The size, geographical distribution and organizational structure of the Department make its requirements in this area unusually large and complex, with the need for business processes to be managed using computer-based information systems and services. This work is carried out in response to the needs of the Department, and in collaboration with the key stakeholders, usually senior academics and administrators.

The role holder is responsible for the ongoing planning, structure and development of the Department's web site: both in its function as a public-facing web presence, and in its internal uses as a means of administrative information management and as a means of delivering database-backed information services. The role holder provides support for, and promotes the development of, the Departmental Library's electronic information services including the online catalogue and Library management systems.

The role holder is expected to provide input to the senior management of the IT Services Division relating to IT policy and strategic planning relevant to their areas of responsibility.
