The opportunity

Are you ready to lead change at one of the world’s most influential creative universities? 

 
University of the Arts London (UAL) is embarking on an ambitious strategic refresh under our new Vice-Chancellor, and we’re looking for a Project Manager who can drive transformation, engage diverse stakeholders, and deliver projects that will shape the student experience and our global creative impact. 

 

As Project Manager, you will play a pivotal role in implementing UAL’s future-fit Operating Model, a model that is student-centred, sustainable, and world-class. You will manage project timelines, risks, stakeholders, and deliverables, ensuring progress against milestones. Leading projects through initiation, design, delivery, and closure, you will coordinate across academic and professional services teams and ensure outputs meet the highest standards. 

 

This is a high-profile, high-impact role requiring excellent planning, communication, and stakeholder management skills. You will also contribute to shaping UAL’s culture of collaboration, inclusivity, and innovation, helping design the operating model that will underpin our next chapter. 

Your profile

You will bring proven experience of managing or coordinating projects in large, complex and multi-stakeholder environments. Familiarity with organisational design, service design or operating model transformation would be an advantage, as would experience in higher education. 

 

You’ll be confident in: 

  • Leading project planning, risk management and delivery to tight deadlines. 
  • Engaging diverse stakeholders, facilitating workshops and gaining buy-in at all levels. 
  • Communicating clearly and persuasively to a range of audiences, including senior leaders. 
  • Building collaborative relationships across organisational boundaries. 

 

If you’re ready to make a lasting impact at a world-class creative university, we want to hear from you.

Our recruitment process involves: Application, Shortlisting, Interview and Assessment, Offer, Onboarding.

We understand the benefits of using AI in work. But, if you are thinking of using it to submit an application, we ask you to think about what value it adds.
