£50,000
Full time, 37.5 Hours
12 months
Central Office, London, with flexibility to work remotely
About the role
The military charity sector relies on SSAFA CMS Ltd to provide and maintain the casework management system. Based around Mosaic, the system manages tens of thousands of applications for support every year and facilitates the distribution of over £20m to beneficiaries.
Managing a small but talented team, the CMS Manager is responsible for maintaining system performance and supporting users across the sector. The CMS Manager holds to account the CMS supplier (Access) in the delivery of system upgrades, releases, technical fixes, maintenance, and general functionality. They also ensure the integrity and security of the system.
Stakeholder engagement is an important aspect to this role with good communication skills and an ability to disseminate technical information in a non-technical way is essential.
About the team
The CMS Support team is small (three direct reports) but they are well motivated and experienced in the support of Mosaic as it operates for the military charity sector. This role will also interact on a daily basis with colleagues from organisations across the sector, on the delivery of updates and system performance (particularly in relation to system integrations and interfaces) drawing on their support, expertise and guidance.
About you
You will be an experienced systems manager, preferably with a good understanding of casework management (or CRM) systems. You will understand interfaces, have the ability to identify and manage system vulnerabilities and security issues – particularly in relation to data protection.
As this is a maternity cover post, you will have the ability to quickly forge relationships and get to grips with the rather unique structures which are the reality of Mosaic in its support of the military charity sector.
