Student and Registry Services is one of the larger Professional Services divisions at UCL, providing essential services to UCL’s 50,000 students, 160,000 applicants and for supporting academic departments and administrative staff in delivering a high-quality student experience.
Student Operations is responsible for the student record - its management and quality - as well as the principal functions supporting the student lifecycle (e.g. exams, timetabling, curriculum information). The directorate is also responsible for student statutory reporting to external stakeholders (e.g. HESA, OfS, GMC). In addition, much of the student data domain has data stewards within the Student Operations teams and so data governance and lifecycle management are key foundational activities that support Student and Registry Services (SRS) generally, as well as two Change and Digital Portfolios (Student Lifecycle and Education).
The teams in Student Operations provide a range of supporting services in partnership with the Information Services Division (ISD) to maintain and improve student-related platforms. Student Operations teams are supported by the Change and Digital Portfolios which manage the various products where development (both continuous improvement and transformation) takes place.
The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in shaping the user experience for prospective students at UCL, focusing particularly on the prospectus website and associated systems. They will liaise and negotiate with colleagues throughout the institution to understand the current state, manage change from scoping to implementation, facilitate group sessions, and support the adoption of new processes.
This post will be fixed-term until 31 July 2027 in the first instance.
If you have any queries about the role, please contact Clare George at: [email protected].
