As an ambitious and forward‑looking institution, the University operates in an increasingly complex higher‑education environment that requires clarity of purpose, robust evidence, and effective long‑term planning. 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. The role works closely with Deans, Faculty Leadership Teams, and senior Professional Services colleagues, operating as a trusted adviser to support strategic alignment and effective delivery. 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. Key Responsibilities The role leads and coordinates strategic planning within designated faculties, ensuring alignment with the University Strategy and supporting delivery through strategic and annual planning processes. This includes developing, monitoring, and reviewing performance frameworks and KPIs, using evidence‑based insight to assess progress and recommend action where required. The postholder undertakes qualitative and quantitative analysis to support strategic decision‑making, synthesising data from multiple internal and external sources. This includes leading competitor analysis and benchmarking, drawing on sector intelligence and performance metrics to identify strengths, risks, and opportunities.

The role also supports strategic reviews and strategy renewal processes, applying knowledge of the higher‑education landscape to horizon scan policy, funding and regulatory developments and communicate their implications clearly. About You This role is suited to a confident and analytically minded professional motivated by supporting a complex organisation to achieve its strategic ambitions. The successful candidate will bring strong strategic planning experience in a complex environment, with the ability to move between institutional strategy and local delivery. The role requires the judgement and people skills needed to act as a trusted adviser to senior academic leaders and Professional Services colleagues, including the confidence to offer constructive challenge.
