Are you an enthusiastic and influential networker who can bring people from different sectors together?

Are you a skilled communicator who could brief senior management across sectors and countries about world-leading research and educational activities at the University of Leeds?

The University of Leeds is one of the top 100 universities in the world. We have a truly global community, with more than 39,000 students from 170 different countries and over 9,000 staff of 100 different nationalities.

The University has recently launched its new strategy which emphasises a culture of networking and partnership with Universities across the world.

This post will play a key role in the realisation of this vision.

As a skilled networker and influencer, you will form meaningful links between University colleagues and European partners, maintaining a presence for Leeds in a post-Brexit landscape. You will be able to work unsupervised and possess strong communication and relationship management skills. You will also have a good working knowledge of research and innovation within the Higher Education sector.
