Following the recent announcement of changes to our University’s senior team, we’re pleased to announce that the recruitment process for the four senior roles is now live.
Please share this opportunity with your contacts and networks.
Below is a summary of each of the four roles:
- Senior Vice-President (Academic) – this new role will be key to creating ‘One Southampton’ by addressing the current fragmentation of business, financial and student numbers planning across faculties and schools, and by providing key oversight to all major academic initiatives across the university. The Senior Vice-President will be the clear standing deputy to the Vice-Chancellor.
- Vice-President (International) – this role’s remit will include being the strategic academic lead on engagement activity at global, national and civic level, and providing the major VP lead and link to alumni relationships and our global philanthropy activity.
- Vice-President (Operations) – this role will largely assume the responsibilities formerly held by the Chief Operating Officer, and currently being filled on an interim basis by Richard Middleton, with line management responsibility for all Professional Services with the exception of the Executive Director Finance & Planning, who will report directly to the Vice-Chancellor as she has been since January.
- Chief of Staff and Associate Vice-President (Strategy) – this new UEB-level role will provide high-level strategic advice and support to the Vice-Chancellor’s team, particularly around external opportunities and threats horizon-scanning, will manage the wider Vice-Chancellor’s Office, and will take leadership of a number of key strategic projects across the University.
