The Cambridge Master of Finance (MFin) is one of the premium fee degree programmes currently taught at the Cambridge Judge Business School (CJBS). The Cambridge MFin is a one-year post-experience degree aimed at professionals with at least two years of successful work experience in finance and a strong academic record. The programme is consistently rated number one or two globally by the Financial Times and one of the key drivers of the ranking is the strong career placement metrics (in terms of both salary/seniority uplift post versus pre-MFin).
The MFin Programme Administrator is responsible for supporting and maintaining organisational aspects of the programme including the coordination management and administration of all aspects of programme delivery and responsibility for managing a very busy timetable of teaching and events.
Effective service delivery is essential to the smooth running of the programme. However, the variety of stakeholders (students, academics, examiners, administrators of other courses and Central University teams, external lecturers, and guest speakers) and their differing needs require careful management. Tailoring the development of the service delivery requires awareness of the needs of individual stakeholders in addition to an understanding of their role within the programme.
The role holder must be able to retain and assess this information and then use it to decide how to alter the service offered. Then, through building a network of people, ensure that this information can be exchanged promptly and be readily available to influence and be involved in developments daily.
As with any programme in the University, student welfare is also a priority for the team. All the students in the programme will be experienced finance professionals who expect a level of quality and service, commiserating with the course fee and their experience of standards in the corporate world.
The successful candidate should have strong administrative experience (ideally in a Higher Education environment), proficiency in Microsoft Office, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, strong organizational and team-working abilities, and demonstrated factual and theoretical knowledge of course administration. Additionally, they should be educated to HND, HNC, level 4/5 vocational qualifications, or have equivalent practical experience.
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 12 months in the first instance.
