  • Supporting the Provost on major rankings coordination, including data collection, analysis, and submission
  • Identifying opportunities for recognition in the form of major prizes, awards, fellowships, and national honours.
  • Supporting the Vice-Chancellor and Provost in determining which prizes and honours to target, and in identifying worthy candidates from the wider University community.
  • Preparing and coordinating nomination materials for submission.
  • Maintaining a comprehensive database of nominations, awards and award winners.
  • Collaborating with our Marketing team to promote rankings, prizes, and awards.

About you

We’re looking for someone with a passion for identifying excellence and a desire to help our researchers, academics, and professional staff receive the recognition they deserve. You’ll be ambitious, with the drive to help the University of Surrey achieve appropriate rankings in national and international league tables.

An excellent communicator, you’ll be comfortable translating complex subjects into language accessible to a wider audience. You’ll work effectively with individuals at all levels, establishing credibility with staff and key stakeholders across the organisation including forming business partnering relationships with the Vice-Chancellor, Provost, and other key members of the Executive Board.
