A strong track record in delivering high-profile events, evaluating engagement strategies and working collaboratively across teams is essential, along with some experience of managing others and regular giving.
This is an exceptional opportunity to make a strong impact within a global community and at an exciting moment in this institution’s trajectory. It will take a creative and strategic engagement professional to understand and galvanise the School’s community, and win their support. In return, you will get to work within an ambitious and growing team, and an excellent benefits package will be available to the successful candidate, including enhanced access to executive education and professional development.
