- Representing the School on key committees and building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders

About you:
We're looking for a dynamic leader with either a relevant degree/postgraduate qualification plus significant management experience, or substantial strategic management experience demonstrating professional development. You should have proven experience in a senior management role, managing diverse stakeholders and demonstrating strong project and people management skills.
