Director of Education

University of Bristol - Business School

The role

At Bristol, we are developing a forward-thinking, socially minded Business School.

Our school’s mission is to "Inspire the next generation of global citizens and leaders to address the grand societal changes of our time."

We recognise the importance of being a global-civic school within the community of internationally leading business and management schools. Our focus on the most pressing global and societal challenges forces us to be critically reflective, evidence based and analytical in service to a progressive understanding of management and organisations.

We consider ourselves to be pluralistic and host diverse areas of academic expertise and excellence. As a social science-based school committed to an inclusive approach to rigorous inquiry, we are respectful of disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary science in developing novel insights.

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to world-class education delivery and we’re looking to appoint a new Director of Education that embodies this in the way they operate and the energy they bring. 

This is a role grounded in education policy, careful leadership and driving education innovation. You’ll be responsible for evolving and fine-tuning our education strategy, ensuring we can successfully deliver a learning experience for our students across UG, PG and Executive Education that is fitting of our ambitions.

Reporting directly to the Dean and a crucial part of the Business School Senior Leadership Team, your contribution to the strategic direction, management and development of the school will be vital, ahead of our move to a new home at the Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus (TQEC) in 2026.

What will you be doing?

The DOE role is expansive, so striking a fine balance between empowering others to deliver and being sufficiently across the detail is central to sustaining high levels of performance across all education segments.

You’ll also:

  • Play a key role in our TQEC working group with a lens focused on education innovation, interdisciplinary educational offerings and executive education.
  • Proactively connect with national peer networks for education and innovation.
  • Attending key national conferences (such as CABS, British Academy of Management.
  • Stay abreast of evolving education policy and regulation from OFS, Advance HE and others.
