You should apply if

You are an enthusiastic and proactive role model for our scholarships team; someone who has a positive ‘can do’ attitude and can bring people alongside them even when working in a busy and complex environment. We are very keen to hear from people with experience in scholarship management either with international students or charitable organisations. Either way, you will be used to delivering large programmes of activity working in collaboration with others. You will have a strong business acumen and the ability to influence and negotiate in order to help secure future funding for our international scholarship programmes.

The ideal candidate will be ideas-driven and will enjoy working with multiple stakeholders. A keen eye for detail is a must, but this will be complemented by the ability to see the bigger picture and drive forward strategic change for this important area of work, helping the University deliver their internationalisation agenda.
