Hola, Battle-Hardened Veteran,

Welcome… to… Week 8? It may be Friday, but it’s never too late for your weekly CompSoc newsletter. We have in store for you today a surprise pizza night to end off the term before some amongst us begin the arduous task of travelling away, along with a sponsor opportunity below.

We’re down in the Undergraduate Social Area tonight at 7:30pm! As ever we’ll fulfil your every dietary need with ample pizza and ice cream. Come on down to hang out with friends one last time before the lights are switched off and we all go home for the year.

— Declan, CompSoc Secretary

Fun Computing Fact: You’ve probably heard of reduced instruction set computers and complex instruction set computers, but you may not have heard of ultimatereduced instruction set computers! Also known as one-instruction set computers, these refer to computers with instruction sets containing a single instruction. These can be Turing complete and massively simplify instruction encodings by eliminating the need for opcodes, but for the most part aren’t particularly useful.

We are looking for someone who is eager to develop their commercial awareness and really add value to TPP’s UK and international opportunities. You will be responsible for researching the legal and commercial landscape of new markets both in the UK and abroad, identifying and communicating risks of those opportunities and establishing corporate structures to deliver the business. You will also be involved in preparing bids for new contracts, including national frameworks and high value contracts.

As well as working on new opportunities you will be responsible for reviewing company policies to make sure they stay relevant and will also manage contract performance to ensure the company is meeting customer expectations. You will frequently conduct meetings with key stakeholders to negotiate contract terms and variations and subsequently lead on the delivery of those agreements, working closely with all teams within the company.

No previous experience is required and training is on-the-job, but you will require an eye for detail and excellent communication skills.

Make sure to join OxWoCS (Oxford Women in CS), a society we're working closely with, if you identify as a woman or woman-adjacent person in CS! They have a host of wonderful events on, including talks, panels and socials. Computer Science is unfortunately a subject with one of the biggest gender gaps in Oxford and worldwide, and addressing this is at the core of OxWoCS.
