As Aston’s principal ambassador, you will build and deepen influential relationships with business, government, healthcare partners, civic leaders and benefactors. You will represent Aston with confidence and authenticity, strengthening its profile and reputation locally, nationally and internationally. Central to the role is a visible commitment to Birmingham and the West Midlands, including Aston’s role within the Birmingham Innovation Quarter and wider civic and economic partnerships, alongside an ambition to extend the University’s global presence and influence. We are seeking a leader with gravitas and integrity, and the ambition and emotional intelligence to inspire confidence, bring people with them and lead effectively through change. You will combine academic credibility with commercial acumen, strategic insight with collaborative leadership, and a strong sense of purpose with an inclusive, empowering approach.
