Head of Institute of Place Management (IPM) Professional Membership Network

If you are a senior professional with a strong interest in place management and leadership and a proven track record of influencing relevant political agendas, policy and practice, we would love to hear from you.

Our vision is to be the global leader in place management research and education which enhances the quality, sustainability, and vibrancy of urban and rural places through the co-creation and transfer of knowledge with a global network of scholars, policymakers and practitioners.

To support and enable that vision, we have created a new role which presents an exciting opportunity to provide strategic leadership of the new IPM Professional Membership Network, which will support and enable the development and impact of place-based research at the University.

About the role
This is a critical role at a pivotal moment, as the University looks to build on the huge success of the IPM and the legacy of the High Streets Task Force, which has clearly demonstrated how Manchester Met's research and education in place management has a fundamental role to play in making better places.

Working closely with senior place-based academics in the department of Marketing, International Business and Tourism (‘MIBT') you will lead and inspire a high-profile professional network of place leaders (from government, public, community and private sectors – including senior leaders up to Chief Executive level or equivalent) ensuring knowledge generated is informed by the needs of research users, gets transferred effectively to the professional network, and is impactful in making better places.

By proactively horizon-scanning and applying strategic judgment to identify suitable opportunities for the Network to undertake, you will drive forward the vision and deliver significant impact, balancing University priorities with those of external stakeholders.

For the right candidate, this will be a fantastic chance to play a high-profile role in helping the University build on its success to date and cement its position as an international leader in place management to a global network of policymakers and practitioners.

About you
You will need to be a passionate and credible figurehead to a high-profile network of place leaders whilst, at the same time, be confident in articulating and advocating for the purpose and priorities of place-based research at the University.

You will need to bring significant senior professional experience or demonstrable ability to lead a national or international professional or policy network, along with proven experience of influencing political agendas and policy relevant to place management and leadership.

You will be used to balancing the needs of stakeholders with the purpose/vision of an organisation to ensure that visions are translated into actions and are achieved. You will be an advocate of good governance. You will be a team player with excellent leadership and communication skills, as well as an attention to detail, to ensure effective delivery of projects and activities. You will be passionate about service quality and comfortable working in an outcome-orientated environment, with KPIs.

Please submit your CV and covering letter (detailing your suitability for the role) via our application portal.
