Imperial College London is a science-based University with a difference. Since our founding in 1907, Imperial has sought to be not only a world-leading University, but a world-changing one. We have combined our tremendous strength in science, engineering, medicine and business (STEMB) with scientific discovery, innovation and entrepreneurship, to create real world impact. Our enduring STEMB focus, and the exceptional disciplinary foundations that underpin it, are the reason for our continued high-impact trajectory and place amongst the top ten Universities in the world.

Our recently launched strategy, Science for Humanity, aims to maximise Imperial’s potential as a global force for good, using science to try and understand more of the universe and improve the lives of more people in it. The new strategy focuses on building and harnessing multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research at unprecedented scale to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and inclusive economic growth.

One of three flagship initiatives in the new strategy, we are launching a new Institute of Extended Learning (IEL), which will help future-proof careers, businesses and communities by providing the advanced skills training and values-driven leadership needed to thrive in a tech-enabled world. IEL will leverage the disciplinary excellence within our academic departments and the unparalleled interdisciplinary capacity within our new Schools of Convergence Science to provide advanced skills training for individuals, businesses, governments and other knowledge organisations. For both individuals and businesses, IEL will build on our position at the forefront of STEMB to ensure participants are equipped with the knowledge, skills and leadership capability to grasp new opportunities in rapidly advancing fields such as AI, cleantech, deep tech, quantum, engineering biology and climate science.

We are now seeking to recruit an inaugural Managing Director for IEL. With overarching leadership of five specialist teams, the Managing Director will have overall responsibility for the management and implementation of our priorities related to extended learning, as outlined in the new strategy. The Managing Director will work with a wide range of stakeholders across our Imperial community, and will be responsible for developing the academic and financial priorities for IEL. They will be heavily involved in seeking out new opportunities to develop and expand the activities of IEL and will need the ability to develop relationships with clients in a broad range of industries.

They will bring a track record of leading large teams across a complex organisation, and will have substantial commercial and operational leadership experience. They will have an understanding of the complexity of working with academics, teaching fellows, and corporate partners, and an appreciation of the different drivers between industry and academic priorities.

The role of Managing Director of IEL is critical to delivering and aligning ambitious plans to implement Imperial’s vision, aims and priorities for extended learning over the coming years.
