Project Administrator

The Oxford University Department for Continuing Education (OUDCE) is seeking
to appoint a Project Administrator to co-ordinate the work of Oxford’s new
Online Education Hub (OEH).





The University of Oxford is known for its distinctive teaching approach – born
of a rich sense of place. Its ambition is for greater reach, sharing
excellence with the world. Oxford’s OEH is a strategic service that enables
academic teams to sustainably grow their online curricula. The Hub aims to
broaden access for non-traditional students; engage intellectually curious
citizenry; drive innovation in online education; and develop alternative
revenue sources.





You’ll be joining a team culture that’s deeply committed to enabling world-
class student experiences and to supporting and empowering one another.





**About the role**



The Project Administrator for the Hub will support a wide range of digital and
educational projects through clerical efficiency and an excellent service
mentality.





The role will help proactively organize and plan agendas among a complex set
of groups, helping stakeholders to make timely decisions and drive progress,
for example through report writing, liaising with project teams/SCRUM masters,
diary management, action/risk logging, and room and event planning.





The Project Administrator needs to work in an iterative and agile fashion,
responding to fast paced and changeable agendas. The role will also work
collaboratively with the wider project community – notably within the Digital
Transformation Program, sharing best practices, connecting people,
highlighting risks, and fostering inter-departmental sharing of resource.





Ultimately, the role requires a passion for innovation in education and a
commitment to meet and surpass the needs of Oxford’s contemporary online
students.





This is a full-time (1.0 FTE) position, available on a fixed-term (2 year)
contract. The role offers a flexible working pattern of 3 days on campus and 2
days remote, per week.

budgets through formal university governance.

eager to teach others. You’ll be joining a team that is excited to hear your
ideas on how we continuously improve, and we’re all expected to speak-up.





But - most importantly - you’ll have a passion for delivering value for
Oxford’s online students and the transformative power of quality education.
