About the role
We are looking for an experienced academic partnerships manager with expertise in HE and FE sectors, and of establishing such partnerships at home and abroad – with partners from both the private and public sectors. We need someone who is clear sighted and effective, and who has the interpersonal skills to manage relationships internally and externally. The successful candidate will be self motivated and ambitious, with a values-driven approach to higher education and a clear business focus on the process by which this is delivered. The successful applicant will be able to work both strategically (advising the Executive where necessary) and operationally.
About us
Bath Spa University is focussed on creative enterprise and guided by our four values of respect, inclusivity, collaboration and sustainability. We teach around 8,000 students on a set of campuses around Bath, with most being located at Newton Park, including a listed Georgian house and grounds, or Locksbrook Road, our new city-centre art and design campus. Our research centres focus on creative industries and humanities.
Our purpose is to challenge our students and staff to realise their talent and thrive, for their own benefit and for the wider good. By doing this we will think and make the world better.
We have come together with ambition, drive and teamwork over the last two years and now boast one of the strongest senior teams in the sector. We are looking to strengthen this team with two outstanding appointments. Each is designed to offer a transition from management into a strategic leadership role, and the appointees will be mentored and helped to move across this boundary, while performing across both domains.
