We are seeking an Executive Officer to the Executive Director of Corporate Engagement, a responsible post offering the opportunity for involvement at the heart of the School's global corporate, public sector, and not-for-profit partnerships.

The post holder will assist the Executive Director in all aspects of their work, including direct support, dealing with and progressing a wide range of matters, often confidential and sensitive, and exercising judgment about the urgency of issues to be dealt with, especially when the Executive Director is unavailable. This is also an exciting opportunity to take on the responsibility for new areas, such as external communications support, content creation and dissemination, and presentation materials, to help raise our profile externally.

We are looking for an individual who is passionate about working in a role that has a significant impact within the School and across society; a natural team player but also good at taking the initiative; a self-starter who is open-minded and creative; who spots opportunities and can build effective networks, and has the tenacity and resilience to persevere with projects to bring them to a successful conclusion.

We are a supportive, fun, and driven team in a dynamic, forward-thinking, and ambitious organisation; these are the qualities we seek in you. In return, we offer excellent training and development opportunities, a family-friendly environment, and a supportive and collaborative culture.

If you are looking for a role that directly contributes to the betterment of society, and are excited to work alongside globally respected experts in diverse subjects such as climate change, data science, sociology, marketing, geography, economics, or politics, then this opportunity is for you.
