Description

Background to the role:
Manchester is having its moment.

Right now, we are preparing to launch our first ever major fundraising and engagement campaign to mark our 200th anniversary in 2024.

To make that happen, we are building an exceptional team of people to champion bold thinking that is rooted in impact.

At Manchester we don't just focus on what we're good at. We ask what we're good for.

Through our teaching we are educating a new kind of socially responsible graduate - tomorrow's thinkers, doers and leaders of a better world.

Through our research we are addressing the most pressing global challenges with bold and brilliant solutions.

Through innovation we are turning ideas into reality, creating the jobs and industries that will sustain us in the future.

And in the heart of the city and beyond, we are breaking down barriers to art, science and learning in order to build stronger, more resilient communities.

Manchester people are different. We share a pioneering spirit and the courage to make a difference.

If you have a fearless personality, boundless optimism and a desire to create a healthier, fairer and more sustainable world, we'd love to hear from you.

Sound exciting? We think so too.
