Are you looking for a new and exciting opportunity to guide an ambitious, global university?
The University of Glasgow is seeking an appropriately qualified external member, to serve on its Finance Committee, which is a committee of the University Court (the governing body). We would like to recruit candidates with senior management experience, including financial management, and if possible with recent professional experience of major capital investment projects and/or process and system transformation, ideally within a large organisation.
Glasgow is one of the world's top 100 universities and is a member of the prestigious Russell Group of leading UK research universities. It has more than 33,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students, an annual turnover of more than £959m, including research income of £221m, and welcomes students from more than 140 countries worldwide, with excellent ratings for student satisfaction. The successful candidate will be contributing to the University at an exciting time, with major capital projects under way and under consideration as part of the redevelopment of an enlarged campus; and the development of the new institutional strategic plan.
Candidates will need to be able to commit to between 5 and 8 half-days per year to the duties.
The position is available from October 2025, is non-executive and unremunerated, but expenses will be paid, including travel, child/dependent-care and lost earnings. The appointment will be for four years in the first instance. Candidates must not be employees or students of the University of Glasgow.
The University of Glasgow is committed to equality and ensuring all students, staff and visitors have a positive experience of the learning, teaching, research and work environment.
We are keen to hear from people excited by the opportunity to add value irrespective of their sex, gender identity, gender re-assignment, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief, race and traditionally under-represented groups, and to preserve gender balance on the Court in accordance with the Gender Representation on Public Boards (Scotland) Act 2018, we would welcome and encourage applications from women.
