Faculty Operating Officer - Engineering & Science

Location: Medway Campus

Interview date: Monday 2^nd September 2024

The Faculty of Engineering & Science is seeking to appoint a Faculty Operating Officer to join the Senior Management Team of the Faculty. 

Reporting to the PVC and Executive Dean, the Faculty Operating Officer (FOO) will be responsible for the efficient and effective running of all professional and technical services and processes in the faculty.

The FOO will hold overall faculty responsibilities for finance, human resources, operations, space, technical services, student support services, facilities management and marketing and events.

The role will involve organising and coordinating the faculty interfaces with the university services provided centrally by Directorates as well as working collaboratively across the University on institution-wide projects.

The role of the FOO is key to the success of the University’s 2030 strategy. If you an experienced leader with experience across different functional areas, and with the interpersonal skills to achieve outcomes in a complex organisation, this role could be a stimulating challenge and opportunity to develop your skills and experience for future progression.

The Faculty of Engineering and Science is split over two campuses - the magnificent Greenwich Campus whose buildings were designed at the end of the 17th century by Sir Christopher Wren, one of Britain’s greatest architects and the Chatham Maritime Campus, the former Royal Navy base whose numerous red-brick buildings echo its rich naval history.

We are looking for people who can help us deliver our mission of transforming lives through inspired teaching and research, through our values.
