The Consortium Manager will play a key role, working closely with all partners in the grant to deliver on its aims. 

You will operate at a senior level, influencing the strategic direction of the project. You will be responsible for the day-to-day operational, risk and administrative management of grant and its team, ensuring that the work is delivered to a high standard and meets the requirements of the funder.

While based at Bath, the post will include overseeing work packages that are based at other universities.

In line with the Centre’s wider work, applicants are also asked to declare any links to or work for other unhealthy commodity industries notably ultra-processed foods, fossil fuels, alcohol and gambling industries.
