This is a high‑profile opportunity to lead and shape Warwick Business School’s global positioning through rankings, accreditation, and reputation. You will lead a newly formed unit with three direct reports and a wider team of seven, taking strategic ownership of the School’s performance across the full portfolio of global rankings—undergraduate, Masters, MBA, and Executive Education—ensuring a coherent, data‑driven approach that strengthens WBS’s competitive standing.
You will work closely with the central University, dedicating time each week to align institutional strategy and lead engagement with senior stakeholders across the rankings landscape.
Your responsibilities include driving an evidence‑based strategy, overseeing rankings submissions, and leading initiatives that enhance the School’s external profile.

Beyond rankings you will support broader strategic priorities across the School—including EDI, sustainability, and AI—providing leadership, guidance and direction to colleagues driving these agendas.
Confident and credible, comfortable working at senior levels and able to build trust quickly across a wide range of stakeholders.
Sound judgement, intellectual curiosity and a sharp eye for what drives performance; able to use evidence and insight to shape direction and challenge constructively where needed.

Strong and supportive team leader, known for developing others and creating a culture where people feel empowered to take ownership and deliver at their best.
Set clear expectations, provide thoughtful guidance and foster collaboration across teams to achieve shared goals.
