We are seeking two Programme Managers to lead the end‑to‑end delivery of executive and professional education across open enrolment and custom programmes.

The successful candidate will bring strong programme delivery experience, sound operational judgement and a collaborative approach to working across teams. This is an operational role focused on customer service, the highest quality in logistic and educational experience, and continuous improvement.

The successful two candidates will be able to demonstrate:

• Experience managing or coordinating the delivery of complex programmes, projects or delivery events in a professional, higher education or client‑facing environment.
• Experience supporting delivery across different formats (in‑person, online or blended environments).
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent priorities, maintaining oversight of timelines, logistics and delivery readiness.
• Experience working with multiple stakeholders (e.g. academic, operational and external partners) to deliver outputs to agreed timelines and standards.

The role involves close collaboration with colleagues across Lifelong Learning and the wider School, evening or weekend working aligned to programme delivery requirements, and may include overseas travel.
