With a dedicated team of over 100 teaching and research professionals, complemented by a support staff of around 90 managerial and administrative experts (referred to as Professional Services, ‘PS’), we cultivate a vibrant working environment.

This role is part of a close-knit team which works inside the Dean’s Office to achieve the School of Management’s goals in the area of academic support.

The role holder will be a business partner to the four academic Heads of Division and will establish excellence across all Divisions with regards to:

1. Academic workload allocation;
2. Academic resource planning at School-level and within each Subject Group;
3. Recruitment and induction processes;
4. Academic staff development;
5. Academic performance reviews.

This is a busy and varied role which requires the post-holder to have excellent communication, people management and organisational skills.
