Dean: Cultural Engagement

3 weeks ago


Leeds, United Kingdom University of Leeds Full time

**Dean: Cultural Engagement**:
**Opportunity open to existing academic Grade 9 or Grade 10 staff at the University of Leeds only.**

**Are you a pro-active and influential colleague with the passion and commitment to drive forward the University’s work with cultural organisations? Do you have an extensive working knowledge of the cultural sector nationally and a vision for the role of culture in society? Do you have a strong track record of strategic working and enjoy developing strategy collaboratively?**

The University’s strategy for 2020-2030, _Universal Values, Global Change_, sets out a powerful vision, with an aim of placing the University of Leeds at the heart of a global network, finding innovative solutions to challenges ranging from local to the global. Key to delivering this vision is a bold and ambitious approach to cultural engagement. In particular, the Cultural Institute (formed in 2016) offers a major opportunity to drive the University’s work forward in this area, and to achieve a wide-ranging set of mutually beneficial relationships with cultural bodies across the spectrum. In this way we will fulfil a major part of the University’s mission to become a truly civic university with significant local, regional, national and global impacts.

Reporting to the Principal Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost, you will be responsible for academic leadership to develop a confident, supportive, ambitious cultural strategy. You will work collaboratively with senior academic and Professional Services colleagues, and with colleagues from all Faculties across the University. You will play a key leadership role in developing and delivering initiatives to support and enhance the University’s cultural engagement strategy on a sustained and sustainable basis.

You will work collaboratively with the Cultural Institute’s Associate Director to lead it, and will need to work quickly to build and sustain networks across the University and externally, and to work effectively in a complex and changing environment. Your approach will be considerate, persuasive and engaging, bringing key stakeholders along with them. You will ensure strategic alignment and drive transformational change.
