About the Role
At the University of Bath, our digital vision goes beyond simply deploying technology—we aim to empower, enable, and connect our people to drive meaningful organisational, societal, and environmental change. We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Technical Project Manager to join our Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) department.

In addition, you’ll contribute to the development of a Cloud Centre of Excellence, helping to shape a sustainable cloud operating model within DDaT and build the capabilities needed for future cloud migrations.

- Proven experience delivering complex technical/IT projects in large organisations.
- Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
- Excellent planning, organisational, and project management capabilities.
- Confidence in managing relationships across technical and non-technical teams.
- Experience with the deployment of data integration platforms.
- Experience working as part of a project team.
- Ability to deal with ambiguity and complexity.
