You will have proven experience of managing a mid-size IT department and have an excellent track record of delivering complex projects on time and on budget.
Your organisation and delegation skills will be highly honed, and you will have the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical staff, and to gather and translate business requirements into achievable, cost-effective specifications.

The Blavatnik School of Government (BSG) at the University of Oxford aims to inspire and support better public policy and government around the world. The global, practice-focused, multi-disciplinary school was established in 2010 thanks to a visionary gift of £75 million by Leonard Blavatnik and will shortly be moving to a state of the art building in the centre of Oxford.
