Change your career, change lives
The Open University is the UK’s largest university, a world leader in flexible part-time education combining a mission to widen access to higher education with research excellence, transforming lives through education.
In the Faculty of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, we aspire to be world leaders in inclusive, innovative and impactful STEM teaching and research. Our vibrant research community are active at the frontiers of knowledge in several areas of STEM. Through collaboration with a wide range of partners we drive innovation, shape policy and practice, and change lives for the better throughout the UK and around the world. Our faculty is comprised of 6 schools delivering teaching and learning across a wide range of qualifications in Computing & Communications, Engineering & Innovation, Earth & Environmental Sciences, Life, Health & Chemical Sciences, Physical & Space Sciences.
The role
We are looking for a committed and enthusiastic person with proven administrative and project management skills to join our team of Curriculum Managers.
Curriculum Managers play a key role in the development, production and presentation of multi-media courses across the Faculty, with duties including planning, scheduling, and course administration. As a curriculum manager, you will be the primary link between module teams and the other production and administrative areas of the University, helping to ensure that modules and projects meet agreed quality standards and schedules.
Working across one or more STEM schools, you will help ensure that our students receive the best quality study material and have a rewarding learning experience.
It is anticipated that a hybrid working pattern can be adopted for this role, where the successful candidate can work from home and the office. However, some flexibility is required as this role is aligned to our Milton Keynes office and therefore it is expected that some attendance in the office will be required when necessary and in response to business needs.
Skills and experience
You will hold a first degree or equivalent experience, have good organisational and communication skills, and an eye for detail. You will have the ability to manage a project to completion and good technology skills, as well as an ability to work independently and as part of a team.
