Technical requirements: Maynooth University requires the provision of one Programme Manager who will be responsible for programme delivery of the second phase of its Registry IT project. The Registry IT project was initiated in 2015 (comprising two phases) to reconfigure relevant IT systems (ITS (Student System), Syllabus Plus (Timetabling), ADB (Curriculum Management System) and Moodle (VLE)) to deliver the new Maynooth Curriculum. At the same time, significant reconfigurations of HR (Core) and Finance (JD Edwards) IT systems were also undertaken. The second phase of the Registry IT project is now commencing and the services of an experienced, professional programme manager are required to provide high-level support to ensure the full programme of works is delivered to approved scope, timeline, budget and quality.
