About the Role

The University of Oxford is embarking on a significant digital transformation initiative aimed at enhancing its digital communications. As part of the Transforming Oxford’s Digital Communications Programme, we are looking for Implementation Officers to play a key role in supporting the University's transition to modern, secure, and scalable digital platforms.

You will be part of the Business Change Team and assigned to the Migration Project, which is responsible for migrating digital content from over 1,000 Drupal 7-based websites to new platforms: OxWeb, Fresco, and OxIntranet.

Your work will focus on stakeholder engagement, coordinating migrations, and ensuring a smooth and well-supported transition for content owners across the collegiate University. You’ll work closely with the Migration Project Manager, Business Change colleagues, and support teams to help deliver a successful and timely migration for content owners spanning staff and students.

The role offers an opportunity to make a real difference to the way Oxford’s digital communications are set up to be fit for the future, while being part of a team spanning communications and IT professionals.

About You

You will be an effective communicator, confident in engaging with, negotiating, and influencing a diverse range of stakeholders across the University.

You will be highly organised, with the ability to coordinate multiple project activities while keeping user experience and stakeholder impact at the forefront.

Experience in digital content migration, website platforms, and digital communications would be advantageous, though not essential.

Application Process

You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement, CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.

The closing date for applications is Monday 22 September at 12:00 noon.

Interviews will take place on Wednesday 1 October and take place in person in central Oxford.
