Abertay is a modern university with a global outlook, rooted in its local and national communities. We are committed to high quality teaching and research, and to providing an inclusive, supportive environment for everyone who studies or works here.

IT Services is a collaborative and supportive department providing digital technology services for staff and students across the University. We are seeking an Enterprise Application Specialist to join our Enterprise Applications team.

Reporting to the Head of Enterprise Applications, you will support the operation, improvement and development of the University’s core enterprise systems. You will work with colleagues across the University to make sure these services are reliable, secure and meet business needs.

The systems you will support enable key functions, including:
• Student information
• Finance
• Learning and teaching
• Research

The main responsibilities of the role include:
• Supporting and maintaining enterprise applications, including Tribal SITS
• Investigating and resolving complex system issues
• Application development.
• Liaising with external suppliers when required
• Contributing to system upgrades, improvements and digital change initiatives
• Clear documentation and knowledge sharing are an important part of the role.

We are looking for applicants who can demonstrate the following skills and experience. If you meet most of the criteria and are excited about the role, we encourage you to apply.
