About the role

Oxford Cultural Leaders was founded in 2015. It is a highly acclaimed leadership programme for UK and global leaders in the cultural and creative sectors and is run by Oxford University’s Gardens, Libraries and Museums with colleagues at the Saïd Business School. The programme includes an annual Residential Programme in Oxford, OCL Online, OCL Coaching, OCL for GLAM and OCL Bespoke. OCL programmes aim to challenge and redefine the identity of leaders in the arts and cultural sectors and to shape their vision at a time of challenge and complexity. The cohorts for OCL come from across the world, from over 200 organisations to date, and create networks which are brought together as part of our OCL Alumni Membership Programme.

A key aspect of work will be building and maintaining effective working relationships with our Oxford Cultural Leaders alumni.

This is a 1-year fixed term, part-time post (2.5 days per week).

The role supports a hybrid working model, with the expectation of working on-site at least 50% of the time. Some weekend and evening work will be required as part of this role.
