This interpretation is used to provide operational management across a range of project funder rules and to ensure that projects are compliant with funder and OU in their financial and narrative reporting.

The role holder will also provide an administrative service to KMi’s Executive Team, academics and researchers and undertake other responsibilities in the Unit as directed.
