Senior Lecturer Business Management

Birmingham Newman University is seeking to appoint a Senior Lecturer in Business Management to undertake a distinctive academic role that combines subject expertise with sustained responsibility for collaborative partnership provision. This post sits within the School of Business and Law and form a critical part of the University’s academic oversight and assurance model for partner-delivered programmes.

This is an opportunity for an academically credible Business Management practitioner who is motivated by impact, responsibility and variety. The role combines teaching and student-facing activity on campus with a substantial focus on the academic oversight, support and enhancement of Business Management programmes delivered through collaborative partners. The post holder will work closely with the Academic Partnerships Lead and partnership staff to safeguard academic standards, ensure parity of student experience and maintain confidence in the University’s role as awarding body.

A significant element of the role involves regular engagement with partner institutions. This includes scheduled academic visits, participation in assurance activity, dialogue with partner teaching teams, and oversight of learning, teaching and assessment practice. Travel to partner sites, including some overnight stays, is an expected and integral feature of the role. Flexibility to support evening and weekend activity linked to delivery, recruitment and assurance is also required.

Alongside partnership responsibilities, the post holder will contribute to the delivery of Business Management learning, teaching and research on campus. This will include designing and delivering modules aligned to subject expertise, supporting student learning and progression, and acting as an academic personal tutor. The role also contributes to student recruitment, outreach and conversion activity, ensuring strong alignment between campus provision and collaborative delivery.

We are seeking a candidate with a strong foundation in Business Management subjects, the ability to teach across core subject areas, and a commitment to inclusive, high-quality education. Experience of collaborative, partnership or off-campus provision is welcomed but not essential; applicants with the capability and motivation to develop in this area are encouraged to apply. What matters most is the ability to operate with academic authority, professionalism and adaptability in a role that spans multiple contexts.
