Manage internal and external stakeholders with confidence and diplomacy.
Manage all aspects of service for our clients to a very high standard and provide first-class customer service for our clients and programme participants.
Identify suitable service providers, including programme venues, hotels and Colleges to ensure participants' and clients' needs are met.

Collate, analyse, and distribute feedback to the Academic Programme Director and other stakeholders as appropriate, and chair debrief meetings for each programme for continuous improvement of our portfolio.
