As a University community, we are dedicated to driving positive and sustainable change in society and realising our vision of making the world a better place.

We are building on strong foundations, but the challenges we are facing as a sector and a University – from the current financial climate to the rapid advances in Digital  and AI - mean that to retain and enhance our reputation and position we must transform our operations and processes. To achieve our enormous potential, we need to leverage new technology, embrace new ways of working, and innovate to enhance our staff and student experience, and to support the growth of the world-leading research we are known for.

It is within this context that we are now seeking an exceptional candidate for the role of Senior Vice President (Operations) / Chief Operating Officer to lead our professional services and deliver on our aspirations. We are seeking an inspiring individual with an exceptional record of delivery and passion for supporting large, ambitious and complex organisations to deliver their core mission. This a career-defining role for someone excited by the opportunity to support this special University to reach its potential for its 200th anniversary in 2029.
