This role sits within the UUK International (UUKi) team. UUKi represents the UK’s higher education institutions and supports their global engagement. We enable institutions to develop and deliver their international strategies, promoting the collective interests of the sector to create new opportunities for partnership and collaboration.
As part of UUKi, the Partnerships and External Affairs (PEA) team represent our member universities on the international stage by influencing the funding, operational, and policy environment surrounding international higher education. We do this through the delivery of UUKi’s contracted work, engagement with UUKi’s networks, and management of UUKi’s analysis and insight activities, as well as capacity building opportunities for members. We are also responsible for events throughout the year and lead on our external communications such as the website, campaigns, social media, and blogs.
As Partnerships Manager, your role will be the development, management, and implementation of new and existing partnerships and programmes which benefit the UK higher education sector and our member universities. This includes all aspects of the development and implementation of contract work streams for UUKi, from programme design and setting up workflows, to financial management and reporting on programme impact. You will also play a key role in developing and maintaining excellent relationships with stakeholders, including UK government officials, partner organisations (both in the UK and overseas), funding bodies and UK universities.
Interviews are expected to take place on Wednesday 04 November.
