The Strategy Office plays a central role in shaping and delivering the University’s strategic direction. An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Office as a Senior Strategic Planning Manager within the Strategic Planning and Analytics team covering a period of maternity leave. The Role The Senior Strategic Planning Manager acts as a strategic business partner, providing expert advice, rigorous analysis, and constructive challenge to ensure the University Strategy is translated into ambitious, coherent, and deliverable faculty plans.

Alongside this faculty‑facing partnership, the postholder leads selected University‑wide strategic planning activities. This includes competitor and benchmarking analysis, horizon scanning of policy and sector developments, and contributing to the development, monitoring, and reporting of university‑level strategic key performance indicators. The role will suit someone comfortable working with senior stakeholders in a complex organisation.
