Global Engagement Manager

We are looking for an organised, proactive and collaborative individual with experience of developing and implementing international partnerships, ideally within higher education, research, innovation, government or policy environments.

Strong relationship-building and communication skills are essential, alongside experience of independently supporting multiple projects and working effectively with a range of internal and external stakeholders.

The successful candidate will have excellent written communication and analytical skills, with the ability to undertake research, interpret complex information and contribute to strategic reports, proposals and planning documents.

An ability to manage competing priorities, adapt to changing circumstances and work collaboratively within a high-performing team will be important.

An understanding of internationalisation within higher education, experience of preparing complex documents or agreements, and additional language skills would be advantageous.

A good undergraduate degree or equivalent professional experience is required, alongside a willingness to travel and occasionally work outside standard hours where necessary.

As London's Global University, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where we all belong.

We particularly encourage applications from candidates underrepresented in UCL's workforce, including those from Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds, disabled people, and - for Grade 9 and 10 roles - women.
