Director of Finance and Infrastructure Staffordshire University

Six Figure Salary

The next few years will be a period of unprecedented change for UK higher education. Fierce competition for students, new providers and increasing resource pressure means we must remain agile, operationally efficient, innovative but above all wholly responsive to the demands of our students. At Staffordshire University we are excited and ambitious about the opportunity these challenges present. We are focused absolutely on providing high quality, accessible higher education to even more students than at present.

We are uncompromising in our plan for our institution and need an equally ambitious and innovative Director of Finance and Infrastructure to provide the bedrock to support our goals. Reporting to the Vice-Chancellor you will be pivotal in the University's executive team, providing strong corporate leadership to a portfolio of areas, currently including finance, estates, information services and facilities management.

A professionally qualified accountant, you will be experienced in working and influencing at board level and will possess self-confidence, communication and expert partnership skills. We need you to be commercially astute as the future success of our University will require you to be highly innovative and able to balance this with the diverse needs of an academic environment.
