As an internationally prominent, nationally recognised, and regionally embedded Business School, we play a key role in preparing tomorrow’s leaders to bring humanity to business.

Our purpose is to act as a Connected Hub to ‘make a difference’ through our students, graduates, staff and our regional, national and international networks.

Our Small Business Charter Award reflects our ongoing commitment to the significant local and regional business community. The Business School’s global accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), enables collaboration with similar institutions, strategizing with our contemporaries and the sharing of expertise. We continue to build on our strong research impact agenda, which underpins our work in Finance and Economics, Banking and Taxation, Marketing and Consumer Behaviour, Leadership and Management, Inclusive and Responsible Business Practice, Digitality, Food Security & Health, and the Future of Work. We are home to research centres in Sustainable Business Transformation, Sustainable and Socially Responsible Consumption; Disaster Management; Sport, Inclusivity and Wellbeing; and Tourism and Hospitality. These research and professional practice activities strongly underpin our approach to education authenticity and excellence, ensuring that our students develop the graduate skills needed to succeed in an increasingly complex business world.

We are seeking to appoint a forward thinking and innovative academic leader committed to a culture of academic excellence and continuous improvement. You will be able to demonstrate a successful track record of academic senior leadership and strategic development in higher education, a strong publication record and/or esteem in a professional context, and the personal and academic credibility to drive forward educational enhancements, research activities and the professional practice agenda. This key leadership role provides excellent opportunities to work closely with, and deputise for, the Executive Dean and to influence and shape the strategy for continued growth in research, education and professional practice to deliver the Business School mission and University vision.
