People are at the heart of what we are and do.

The University of Birmingham is proud to have been a part of the City of Birmingham and the wider region for over 100 years, and we are equally proud to be recognised as a leading global university. We want to attract talented people from across the city and beyond, support them to succeed, and celebrate their success.

We are committed to helping the people who work here to develop through our sector-leading Birmingham Professional programme which provides all professional services staff with development opportunities and the encouragement to reach their full potential. With almost 5,000 professional services jobs in a wide-range of functions in Edgbaston and in our campus in Dubai, there are plenty of opportunities for you to be able to develop your career at the University.

We believe there is no such thing as a typical member of staff and that diversity is a source of strength that underpins the exchange of ideas, innovation, and debate. We warmly welcome people from all backgrounds and are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where diversity is at the heart of who and what we are, and how we work.

Supporting our people to achieve a healthy work/life balance is important both to our employees and to the success of the University and, depending on the role, we offer a variety of flexible working arrangements. We therefore welcome discussions on all forms of flexible working. In addition, you will receive a generous package of benefits including 40 days paid holiday a year, one paid day a year for volunteering, occupational sick pay, and a pension scheme. We also have three high quality subsidised day nurseries.

The University is situated in leafy Edgbaston and there are excellent transport links to our beautiful campus, including main bus routes and a train station on site. On campus we have a state-of-the-art sports centre with pool, shops, places to eat and drink, our own art gallery, museum and botanical gardens.

**Background**

Are you looking to develop your career in a corporate engagement role at a prestigious organisation? The University of Birmingham is one of the most ambitious institutions in the UK and we are determined to be placed in the global top 50, with investment and strategic plans in place to enable us to achieve our objectives. We are looking for talented and passionate individuals to join our Business Engagement (BE) team, to take our already successful corporate partnerships to the next level whilst identifying and growing new opportunities.

Our existing corporate partnerships have had a real impact on our University. They have allowed us to support and further our research enabling our researchers to make crucial breakthroughs, to provide an enhanced student experience through internships, and to offer academic consultancy and professional development for our partners. We now wish to grow our networks and engage further with international, national and regional business in order to double our corporate income.

To support this aim, we are looking for an enthusiastic Business Engagement Officer to offer the Business Engagement Partners some additional support in undertaking projects, organising client meetings and small-scale events, as well as general administration.

This pivotal role is an excellent opportunity for someone with an aptitude for project support, event management and administration to work with innovative businesses, established global companies, start-ups, inventors and academics. You will be pro-active, highly motivated, and detail-orientated, with the ability to work collaboratively with other members of staff to advance the University’s efforts to develop and build relationships. This expanding, friendly and focussed team is a great place for someone looking to carve out a career in Business Development.

Based on the University campus, you’ll enjoy the benefits available to University staff including the USS pension scheme, access to our sporting facilities, and additional holidays at Christmas and Easter. The University is situated on a beautiful 250 acre parkland campus with excellent transport links including our own railway station.

**Role Summary**

The project will work with a regional consortium to provide a unique platform for businesses to accelerate the translation of novel innovations through clinical and commercial impact by creating a network of expertise and a integrated programme of initiatives to support companies with their journey.
