As part of the Research and Enterprise Service, EEU contributes to the delivery of the University’s strategic objectives particularly in relation to research and knowledge exchange. The enquiries team within EEU will have specific responsibility for capturing enquiries, logging them on our CRM system, and then triaging them to determine their flow through the organisation ensuring that enquiries are dealt with in a professional manner. This role will provide general administrative support to deliver these activities.
