Digital Core Subject Matter Expert Officer (Fixed term)
The University has embarked on an exciting new programme of work to replace its existing digital services offering in the HR, Finance and Procurement areas. We are now just over 2 years into the Digital Core (new HR, Finance and Procurement system) project and we have a new opportunity for a Subject Matter Expert (SME) Officer to join our Digital Core Procurement team to support our existing team of SMEs as we continue to prepare for go-live.
The SME Officer role will support our SMEs across a number of areas of the project including introduction of new stores functionality, the design of test scripts for regression testing, development of process maps and related materials, building close relationships with stores personnel and supporting the development of training materials amongst other activities. This is a really exciting time to join the project as we progress towards go-live.
So who are we looking for? We are looking for someone who has a detailed working knowledge of Procurement and Supply Chain Management processes ideally gained in the University or in a previous role where they may have been part of a Procurement or supply chain team. You will need to be comfortable working at pace; a strong problem solver who is able to bring others along with you and you will have excellent attention to detail. Your team working skills will also need to be stand out!
