Undergraduate Careers Team Leader

About us

UCL Careers provides careers education to current students, graduates and staff of UCL, as well as recruitment solutions for employers. UCL Careers provides a ‘core’ service for students as well as bespoke support within some academic areas, including UCL’s School of Management (SoM).

The UCL School of Management is home to UCL’s business and management research and education programmes, and has a reputation for world-leading research and teaching. The School is also a member of the Chartered Association of Business Schools.

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity for a new leadership role within UCL Careers’ School of Management Team, focusing on the oversight and management of our sub-team at undergraduate (UG) level. The team supports the ~700 students on the School’s undergradute programmes across two programmes currently: BSc/MSci Management Science and BSc Information Management for Business, with a new programme BSc International Management launching in September 2025, and additional undergraduate programmes planned to launch in subsequent years.

In this job you'll work with UG Programme Directors and the Deputy Head of Careers to lead, manage and develop (strategically and operationally) the undergraduate careers provision. Alongside management and leadership, you will also be involved in the delivery of careers provision within UCL School of Management, drawing on your own relevant experience.

About you

As our Undergraduate Careers Team Leader, you'll need substantial experience in Careers or related work, ideally in a business school setting. You should have experience of line management and people development, and experience of project management. You should be passionate about using your experience to inspire and oversee a high performing team to offer an exceptional student experience and enjoy continuing to evolve the Careers provision and trial new initiatives.

UCL School of Management’s students are a highly international and diverse student body, who most typically look to go on to work in Management Consulting, Finance or Technology. Therefore, experience in, or knowledge of, one or more of these sectors is essential.

Please review the job description, paying particular attention to the essential and desirable criteria, and ensure these are covered in your application.
