Dean of the Business School

Since its establishment as Napier Technical College in 1964, Edinburgh Napier has evolved into a bold, progressive university with a reputation and impact that stretches far beyond its shores. But while the university has risen in rankings and grown in scope and academic reputation over the years, it has stayed true to its heritage as an institution that prepares graduates effectively for a range of careers and advances knowledge that has a positive impact on people’s lives. With nearly 22,000 students from over 150 countries on campus, online and at partner universities worldwide and more than 250 degree courses on offer, Edinburgh Napier is carving out a distinct position as an enterprising and innovative institution with an excellent student learning experience.

Edinburgh Napier is now looking for its next Dean of the Business School. The Business School, recently awarded AACSB accreditation, is the largest of the University’s five schools both in terms of budget and student numbers. As a member of the University’s Senior Leadership Team, reporting into the Deputy Vice Chancellor and Vice Principal Learning and Teaching, the Dean will provide strategic leadership in the growth and development of one of the largest and most modern Business Schools in Scotland, playing a key role enabling the University to achieve its strategic ambitions and goals.

The ideal candidate will bring leadership experience at a senior level in a setting that is comparable in scale and complexity. They will have a strong academic record, or equivalent professional standing, with a widely recognised expertise and authority in their subject discipline. The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience of building and maintaining stakeholder relationships and partnerships between education providers and with industry partners. In addition, candidates should have extensive experience managing budgets, staff resources, and performance.
