CMS Administrator

The SFO’s Case Management System will be the primary source for case-related information and process execution by the SFO. The solution is based on software provided as a service by Clue Computing Company Ltd, based in Bristol. Although Clue Computing Company Ltd provide the Software as a Service (SaaS) the SFO retains a responsibility for managing and administering its own version and configuration of the technology.

c) Delivering any changes to the CMS that fall within the requirements of the SFO.

d) Working with Case Controllers and case teams to keep the system working efficiently and trouble-free.

The CMS Administrator is predominantly a technical role but requires a good understanding of the SFO’s processes and organisational structure. It will provide ample development opportunities through providing support to and cover for other members of the team.

Regular office attendance is required in this role, along with occasional travel to offsite locations such as the supplier or conferences.

• Managing the Joiners, Movers and Leavers process of users of the CMS and ensuring alignment to the SFO’s wider processes.
