Job Description

The University of Sheffield is seeking to recruit to the role of Associate Director of EFM: Property, Strategy and Business Support.

The University of Sheffield is a truly special place, with a bold and ambitious future. A leading global university renowned for the excellence, impact and the distinctiveness of its research-led learning and teaching across a wide range of disciplines, we are home to 30,000 of the brightest students and over 8,000 staff from more than 140 countries around the world. We want Sheffield to be an international centre of excellence for centuries to come, so we recruit ambitious, creative people from across the globe and we nurture their talent.

The Department of Estates and Facilities Management (EFM) at the University of Sheffield is the largest Professional Services Department at the University, employing over 720 staff across a range of professions and specialist areas.

Now is an exciting time to take up a leadership role within the department. Following the appointment of a new Director of Estates and Facilities Management in March 2024, EFM is entering a transformational period with further leadership appointments in the department that will shape the team and culture for many years to come. There are exciting challenges ahead, with the development of a new estate strategy, significant capital investment, drive to net zero, asset management and space optimisation, engineering and maintenance delivery and campus services provision.

Reporting to the Director of EFM, the Associate Director of EFM: Property, Strategy and Business Support is responsible for leading on the University’s approach to the effective management and utilisation of space, property and land across the university’s large-scale and complex portfolio, which services as a crucial enabler to the realisation of the University’s Vision and Strategic Plan. The remit of the role also includes leadership on estate data information management, to inform strategic planning and decision making.

We are seeking an individual with demonstrable career experience in leading the development and implementation of property and space management strategies across complex estate portfolios. The role calls for a leader that is a natural collaborator with excellent stakeholder management skills as well as being inventive yet data-driven in their approach to deliver property solutions that benefit end users and create value.

The University offers a compelling reward package including extensive wellbeing, lifestyle, training and development benefits as a well as a very generous pension scheme and annual leave allowance (41 days leave including UK public holidays and university closure days).

Closing date for applications: 19th May 2024

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
