The role

We are looking for a collaborative and proactive professional with experience of building and managing effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. You will be confident engaging with people at different levels and able to establish credibility, understand different perspectives and influence others to achieve shared outcomes.

You will have experience of working in a stakeholder-facing, partnership, engagement or professional services environment, with the ability to manage multiple relationships and projects simultaneously. You will be comfortable taking an idea from initial concept through to delivery, coordinating others, managing deadlines and evaluating the impact of your work.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential, alongside the confidence to present, facilitate discussions and engage stakeholders both individually and in group settings. You will be able to use evidence and data to inform your approach, make recommendations and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.

Knowledge or experience of graduate recruitment, employer engagement, careers or relevant employment sectors such as professional services, consulting, technology, financial services, entrepreneurship or innovation would be valuable. We would also welcome applications from individuals who have developed strong stakeholder management and partnership experience in another professional services, higher education or business environment.

You will be organised, adaptable and comfortable working in a busy environment where priorities can change. Most importantly, you will be committed to providing a responsive, high-quality service and to developing inclusive opportunities and positive outcomes for our students.

What you'll do

As Senior Employer Engagement Officer, you will lead the development of employer and alumni relationships that create valuable opportunities and experiences for postgraduate students across the UCL School of Management.

You will build and maintain strong relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders, including employers, alumni, academic colleagues, Programme Directors, senior managers and professional services teams. You will use your understanding of stakeholder needs, labour market insight and student feedback to identify opportunities, secure engagement and develop activities that deliver meaningful outcomes.

A key part of the role will be designing and delivering a programme of employer and alumni activity, which could include employer-led events, skills workshops, mentoring opportunities, internships and other experiences that connect students with the world of work. You will work collaboratively with colleagues and external partners to shape content, agree objectives and ensure activities are delivered to a high standard.

You will also take responsibility for project managing activity from initial idea through to delivery and evaluation. This will involve coordinating stakeholders, managing competing priorities, monitoring engagement and using qualitative and quantitative feedback to assess impact and identify opportunities for improvement.

Working as part of the wider School of Management Careers team, you will contribute to the development of the School's Employer Engagement Strategy, share labour market intelligence and help strengthen connections across the School and wider UCL Careers community.

The role offers an opportunity for someone who enjoys working with people, building partnerships and turning ideas into well-delivered activity. You will have scope to develop new approaches, respond to changing employer and student needs, and contribute to the continued development of careers provision within a growing Business School.
