This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of online education at Warwick. Rather than managing an established portfolio, you will play a leading role in establishing and scaling a major strategic initiative, helping to design and deliver the operational framework that underpins high-quality online education. Working across faculties, professional services teams and external partners, you will drive service excellence throughout the student lifecycle, build effective partnerships, and support the development of a scalable and sustainable model for online programme delivery. The role offers significant scope to influence institutional strategy, operational transformation and the future direction of Warwick's online education provision.

About You  

You will be a strategic and collaborative leader with significant experience of programme development, curriculum design and academic delivery within higher education. Passionate about online and digital learning, you will have a strong understanding of academic governance, quality assurance and student success, alongside the ability to build trusted relationships and influence stakeholders across complex organisations. Combining strategic thinking with practical delivery, you will be confident leading multidisciplinary teams, driving innovation and managing change to deliver high-quality educational outcomes. Most importantly, you will be motivated by the opportunity to shape and grow Warwick's online education portfolio, contributing to the University's long-term ambitions for academic excellence, global reach and sustainable growth.
