Admissions Operations Coordinator

The role is a pivotal system and data-based role in the context of the operational process of undergraduate admissions. Oxford uses two main systems for undergraduate applications: Tribal SITS/eVision (used extensively across the sector) and an in-house database built on the Microsoft Dynamics platform called ADSS (Admissions Decisions Support System). ADSS is used mainly for academic staff to select which applicants are made offers during the Autumn term (October-December), and SITS/eVision is used for communicating decisions back to UCAS, as well as post-offer and confirmation stages, and as the core University student records system. Working closely with the Head of Admissions Operations and other members of the team, the Admissions Operations Coordinator will have a pivotal role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of applications data in systems shared internally across colleges and departments and externally with UCAS. The team also supports several bespoke application processes for particular categories of applicants, and liaises with individual stakeholders and senior committees to improve operations and policy for undergraduate admissions. The post-holder will also contribute more generally to the work of the Admissions Operations team, including day-to-day management of user queries ranging from frequently asked questions to more complex technical issues, and shared responsibility in the Admissions Operations team for the use of SITS/eVision in undergraduate admissions. Our other main responsibilities include sector-wide liaison with UCAS and other universities, leading internal meetings updating colleges and departments on key issues in admissions, and a series of projects such as admissions tests, statics, and maintaining the online Admissions Handbook. The work of the Admissions Operations team is often technical in nature, and requires both advanced data manipulation skills and the ability to solve problems relating to data and systems.
