Our vision is to make the world a better place. King’s College London is a world-renowned university that delivers exceptional education and world-leading research. We’re committed to creating positive and sustainable change in our local and global communities through outstanding education, impactful research, and genuine service to society. 

 

Our Strategic Vision 2029 outlines our ambitious plans as we approach our 200th anniversary in 2029, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that serves the world. Our Research Talent department lies at the heart of our commitment to cultivating world-class research and supporting the development of future leaders, in academia, research, education and beyond.  

 

A key element of this is King’s Doctoral College, which supports a thriving community of over 4,200 doctoral researchers. We provide a broad range of funding opportunities for doctoral students. This includes fully-funded scholarship programmes, a financial aid scheme and smaller funds to support training & development, community building and conference travel. We also offer a comprehensive and inclusive development programme.  

 

We are deeply committed to inclusion, diversity, and the wellbeing of our staff and students. Our dedication to excellence is underpinned by robust and responsive administrative processes and policies that ensure seamless access to support, clear communication, and efficient management of processes across all areas of the student lifecycle and beyond. 

 

These processes play a vital role in enabling students and supervisors to focus on what matters most: high-quality research and academic development.

This crucial role provides strategic oversight and operational leadership for business processes and internal systems relating to doctoral student records, with a particular focus on the doctoral student component of Student Records (SITS). Working closely with the Associate Director (Doctoral Policy & Operations) and key stakeholders across the University, the post-holder is responsible for enhancing and supporting systems and processes that underpin the doctoral student journey.

 

The role involves identifying, scoping, and leading strategic projects and system enhancements within SITS to ensure data integrity, improve user experience, and support institutional objectives. A key focus is delivering high-quality reports and actionable insights through tools such as Power BI, SQL, and Power Automate—both proactively and in response to user needs.

 

The post-holder plays a central role in maintaining the accuracy and quality of doctoral student data, collaborating with central teams to resolve data issues, test system upgrades, and develop and maintain robust data assets. They will provide expert guidance and ongoing training to system users, ensuring effective use of tools and processes, and promoting a positive data culture.
