Offer description

As the first University College in Wales, Aberystwyth has a long and distinguished tradition of teaching excellence and world-leading research, and our establishment in the 19th century is one of the great stories of pioneering achievement in modern Welsh history. Now a university with a strong community of over 6,500 students and 1,800 staff, and named as the top university in England and Wales for student experience in the Times and Sunday Times’ Good University Guide 2025, Aberystwyth is consistently ranked amongst the best universities in the UK for teaching quality and student satisfaction

There is nowhere quite like Aberystwyth: no other University offers the unique combination of long academic tradition, a stunning location with spectacular views over the historic market town of Aberystwyth and the Cardigan Bay coastline, and a campus that brings together state-of-the-art facilities with access to one of the six copyright libraries in Britain. As an anchor institution we are a source of inspiration to our communities and stakeholders and are proud of our civic commitment and significant contribution to our region and Wales.

With a new strategic plan and focus, a transformed senior leadership team and new academic structure, this is an exciting time to be joining us and our vibrant community. Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, you will be a key member of the senior leadership team and pivotal in helping the University to achieve its ambitions as a digitally enabled modern university for all its stakeholders. Following a recent review, you will lead an innovative and customer-centric service towards greater digital maturity and operational efficiency. Leading a number of mission-critical technology projects you will also be responsible for creating and leading a long-term digital investment strategy working closely with senior academic and professional services colleagues.

To apply you will have substantial leadership experience of digital services gained in similarly large and complex organisations and with responsibility for large multi-disciplinary teams of professional staff. Critically, you will be able to balance both strategic and operational imperatives in the role and able to combine latest technology thinking with on the ground technical requirements, governance, and service efficiency. As service leader you will also need to have proven success in developing high-performing teams and a service that is fully engaged with all internal and external stakeholders. A technical expert with either a relevant degree of professional qualification, you will also possess excellent interpersonal and leadership qualities and the ability to be a collegiate influencer at a strategic level. Higher education experience is not essential, but you will also need to demonstrate awareness of the issues facing the sector and able to demonstrate commitment to the University’s mission, vision and values to ensure an inclusive workplace and student experience.

Fel y Coleg Prifysgol gyntaf yng Nghymru, mae gan Aberystwyth draddodiad hir a rhagorol o ragoriaeth addysgu ac ymchwil blaengar, ac mae ein sefydlu yn y 19eg ganrif yn un o’r storïau mawr o lwyddiant arloesol yn hanes modern Cymru. Nawr yn brifysgol gyda chymuned gref o dros 6,500 o fyfyrwyr a 1,800 o staff, ac wedi’i henwi fel y brifysgol uchaf yn Lloegr a Chymru ar gyfer profiad myfyrwyr yn Ganllaw Prifysgolion gyda’r Times a’r Sunday Times 2025, mae Aberystwyth yn cael ei raddio’n gyson ymhlith y prifysgolion gorau yn y DU am ansawdd addysgu a boddhad myfyrwyr

Nid oes unman fel Aberystwyth: ni chynigir unrhyw Brifysgol arall y cyfuniad unigryw o draddodiad academaidd hir, lleoliad syfrdanol gyda golygfeydd bendigedig dros dref farchnad hanesyddol Aberystwyth a Bae Ceredigion, ynghyd a champws sy’n cyfuno cyfleusterau blaenllaw gyda mynediad i un o’r chwech lyfrgelloedd hawlfraint yn y Deyrnas Unedig. Fel sefydliad angor rydym yn ffynhonnell ysbrydoliaeth i’n cymunedau a’n rhanddeiliaid ac rydym yn falch o’n hymrwymiad sifil a’n cyfraniad sylweddol i’n rhanbarth a Chymru.

Gyda chynllun strategol newydd a chanolbwyntio, tîm arweinyddiaeth uwch wedi’i drawsnewid a strwythur academaidd newydd, mae hwn yn amser cyffrous i ymuno â ni a’n cymuned fywiog. Yn adrodd i’r Prif Swyddog Ariannol, byddwch yn aelod allweddol o’r tîm arweinyddiaeth uwch ac yn allweddol wrth helpu’r Brifysgol i gyflawni ei dyheadau fel prifysgol fodern wedi’i galluogi’n ddigidol i bob un o’i rhanddeiliaid. Ar ôl adolygiad diweddar, byddwch yn arwain gwasanaeth arloesol ac yn canolbwyntio ar y cwsmer tuag at fwy o ddisgleirdeb digidol ac effeithlonrwydd gweithredol. Trwy arwain nifer o brosiectau technoleg hollbwysig, byddwch hefyd yn gyfrifol am greu ac arwain strategaeth buddsoddi ddigidol hirdymor gan weithio’n agos gyda chydweithwyr academaidd a gwasanaethau proffesiynol uwch.

I wneud cais bydd gennych brofiad arweinyddiaeth sylweddol mewn gwasanaethau digidol wedi’i ennill mewn sefydliadau mawr a chymhleth tebyg a gyda chyfrifoldeb am dimau proffesiynol amlddisgyblaeth fawr. Yn allweddol, byddwch yn gallu cydbwyso dyletswyddau strategol a gweithredol yn y rôl ac yn gallu cyfuno meddyliau technoleg ddiweddaraf gyda gofynion technegol ymarferol, llywodraethu, ac effeithlonrwydd gwasanaeth. Fel arweinydd gwasanaeth bydd hefyd yn rhaid i chi gael llwyddiant profi wrth ddatblygu timau perfformio uchel a gwasanaeth sydd wedi’i ymgysylltu’n llawn gyda phob rhanddeiliad mewnol ac allanol.

Arbenigwr technegol gyda gradd neu gymhwyster proffesiynol perthnasol, byddwch hefyd yn meddu ar sgiliau rhyngbersonol ac arweinyddiaeth ragorol a’r gallu i fod yn ddylanwadwr cydweithredol ar lefel strategol. Nid yw profiad addysg uwch yn hanfodol, ond bydd hefyd rhaid i chi ddangos ymwybyddiaeth o’r materion sy’n wynebu’r sector ac yn gallu dangos ymroddiad i genhadaeth, gweledigaeth a gwerthoedd y Brifysgol i sicrhau gweithle a phrofiad myfyrwyr cynhwysol.
