Purpose of the post

The postholder will be responsible for technical programme and project management across a number of projects, initially focussing on HDR UK’s newly established programmes and partnerships related to brain health and neurodegeneration.

The postholder will not only have exceptional project management skills, but also technically be able to understand and articulate the infrastructure solutions being used and guide teams in implementing these solutions, whilst not losing sight of overall project aims.  They will be able to collaborate and work with vendors, partners and the HDR UK Technology Ecosystem team members in addition to senior leaders across the Institute.  They must be able to manage complex projects, steering software development and enhancement processes, understand and drive key technical requirements, as well as finding solutions to problems and promoting integration and interoperability across our portfolio of neurodegeneration projects and the institute as a whole.  Re-use, assemble and not build is the mantra.  The role will cover aspects such as trusted research environments, metadata catalogues, integration, federated analysis, data standardisation along with information governance and requires broad understanding of biomedical, healthcare or health data research space.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity to work with key partners both externally and internally to drive projects with innovative technical componentry that develop solutions and partnerships that improve access to health data for research and innovation that has the potential to transform lives.
