UCC wishes to appoint two Business Analysts to support the successful delivery of UCC’s Fees Service Enhancement (FSE) Project. The Project was initiated in December 2024 with a vision to build a modern, student-focused and operationally excellent fees service at UCC that enhances the student and staff experience, supports the full student lifecycle, and safeguards the University’s most significant income stream. A core outcome will be the establishment of a new joint systems support model that enables a more consistent, efficient, and student-focused fees service. To support this initiative, UCC will appoint two Business Analysts to work in collaboration with stakeholders across Finance, IT, Academic Services, VP Global, and the Colleges. The Business Analysts will contribute to embedding a culture of process improvement, service excellence, digitisation, and continuous improvement. These roles represent a unique opportunity to help shape and deliver an enhanced, future-ready fees service for the University. The Fees Business Analyst will deliver business process-focused systems support, and will report to the FSE Project Manager. The Systems Administration Business Analyst will join the System Administration Team to support the transition of system support into the team. Primarily, this analyst will provide the necessary backfill to deliver existing support commitments and projects in order to allow other specialists within the team fully engage with the transition project. Key Responsibilities: Knowledge & Expertise • Acquire expert knowledge of the systems that support running of key business processes such as Student Registration and Fee Payment. • Align with relevant standards and procedures so that any new knowledge or changes are at all times appropriately documented and shared. Collaboration • Work closely with colleagues from across different functional areas including Finance, Deputy President & Registrar’s and IT Services to support improvement and changes to processes and services. • Work closely with business units/teams to ensure there is a clear communication of cyclical support needs as well as a catalogue of enhancements. • Maximise usage and adoption of existing systems and enable both teams to become self-sufficient. • Assist in delivering project objectives by tracking milestones, deadlines, risks, and dependencies, and contributing to progress reporting. Stakeholder Engagement • Coordinate and embed cross-functional groups, working with stakeholders across the University to enable continuous improvement of shared processes and services. Process and Systems Analysis • Map and analyse existing business processes across the student fees lifecycle, identifying inefficiencies, gaps, and improvement opportunities. Requirements Gathering • Engage with subject matter experts (SMEs) and end users to gather and document business requirements, goals and objectives. Solution Design and Enhancement • Translate business needs into functional and/or technical requirements to inform proposals for system changes or enhancements, contributing to the delivery roadmap. Evaluate and recommend new tools or technologies to improve operations and user experience. Systems Implementation • Work collaboratively with system support teams to ensure business requirements are accurately translated into system specifications with an understanding of how other stakeholders may be affected. Assist in the implementation of technical solutions, streamlined workflows and automation, ensuring they are scalable, secure, and efficient. Data and Reporting • Contribute to data analysis, and the development of requirements for reporting and dashboards. Produce reports and provide insights that support decision-making processes. Change and Adoption Support • Support change management activities, including communications, training, and user adoption strategies. Provide guidance and training to end-users on new systems, processes, and solutions. Continuous Improvement • Champion a culture of digital innovation and continuous improvement across relevant teams. Health & Safety In addition to the statutory safety duties of all employees (as prescribed in safety legislation and the relevant local safety statement) each staff member is responsible for: • Discharging any safety functions delegated to them by their Head of College/School/Department/Centre/Unit, in relation to the areas/activities under their control. • Co-operating and assisting the University and the Head of College/School/Department/Centre/Unit in the discharge of their statutory safety responsibilities. • Ensuring that all work under their control is undertaken safely and without risk to health and complies with the provision of all relevant statutory legislation.

The working hours for administrative staff are 35 hours per week with normal hours of duty from 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday, with 1 hour for lunch break.

Pension: The Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012 established the Single Public Service Pension Scheme.

However, applicants who have previously worked in a pensionable post (non-Single Scheme terms) in the Irish Civil/Public service may be offered membership of the UCC Pension scheme. The normal retirement date in this scheme is age 65. A compulsory retirement date of 70 may apply depending on date of first employment in the Irish Civil/Public service.
