Thanks for your feedback. The School is in Dulwich SE22. We've pretty much decided to turn the job on its head and recruit a person with the technical abilities (web, databases, scripting languages etc) who we can then train up in CMIS as necessary. An ideal candidate would have some knowledge of an MIS and possibly a education-related job history. In this way, instead of pulling from a pool of 3000(?) or so current CMIS-based data managers, we can recruit from a much larger pool of talent.

As a school, we've had CMIS for several years now and have been using more and more of the functionality. We would now like to recruit a full time Data Manager. We also have a new CMS-style website coming (which the DM would manage) and would like to integrate data from our Alumni database (in mySQL) with other data (parent's association etc) in a portal (encompassing e-portal). It would be useful if the DM could also write scripts for example to transfer data from an accounts package that runs our fees billing (producing CVS files) to the main nominal ledger running off SQL Server. Could I ask 1) Is this too much to ask of a DM? 2) Does £35K sound about right? 3) Could anyone point me to where this kind of job would be advertised? Thanks.
