About the role

We are seeking an Executive Officer to the Executive Director of Corporate Engagement, a responsible post which offers the opportunity for involvement at the heart of the School’s global corporate, public sector, and not-for-profit partnerships.

The post holder will assist the Executive Director in all aspects of their work including providing direct support, dealing with and progressing a wide range of matters, often highly confidential and/or sensitive, and exercising judgment about the urgency of matters to be dealt with, especially when the Executive Director is unavailable. The post holder will also take on the responsibility for new areas such as external communications support, content creation and dissemination, and presentation materials, to help raise our profile externally.

We are looking for an individual who is passionate about working in a role that has a huge impact within the School and across society; someone who is a natural team player but also good at taking the initiative; a self-starter who is open-minded and creative, who spots opportunities and can build effective networks, and has the tenacity and resilience to persevere with projects, overcoming any obstacles to bring them to a successful conclusion.

We offer an occupational pension scheme, generous annual leave, and excellent training and development opportunities. PAGE operates a blended working approach, combining office-based working with working remotely. Flexible arrangements are welcomed for this role.
