- Design and implement efficient, streamlined processes in SITS with a focus on enhancing the student/staff experience and maintaining high data quality standards.
- Deliver robust, effective solutions aligned with operational and institutional objectives, supporting both short-term needs and long-term initiatives.
- Collaborate directly with stakeholders, SITS developers, and testers to create scalable system solutions tailored to the requirements of the university.
What We’re Looking For
To excel in this role, you should demonstrate:
- In-depth knowledge of student lifecycle business processes and the supporting functionality within SITS.
- A track record of delivering effective, student-focused solutions in a SITS-based Student Record System.
- Proven experience working collaboratively with stakeholders, developers, and testers to design and deliver process improvements.
- Flexibility to create both short-term fixes and scalable, long-term solutions in a dynamic environment.
Work Flexibility
At Canterbury Christ Church University, we value flexible approaches to working wherever possible.
