Job description

King's Business School asks challenging questions of business and wider society in areas of sustainable business, leadership ethics, climate risk and big data like: What is the meaning of work? Should business be more ethical? How can we measure productivity? What is modern slavery? Is big data the future of finance?


As the school celebrates its 5th birthday, we continue to invest in achieving a wide range of Business School accreditations to identify areas for growth and encourage continuous improvement within the School.


In the last 18 months we have secured two major Business School accreditations (AACSB and EQUIS) and are looking to continue this growth with AMBA, Athena Swan and entry into international Higher Education programme rankings.

The Senior Projects Officer (Accreditation) will play a crucial role in achieving and continuing these ambitious goals by supporting the School's programme of accreditation activities working alongside the Strategic Projects Manager (Accreditation) and the Associate Dean (Accreditation) to ensure effective implementation and coordination of the faculty's accreditation function.


The role involves working alongside multiple functions and stakeholders in the faculty (business support, alumni, careers) on multiple and varied activities, including collation of data for annual report submissions, overseeing and servicing the Accreditation Steering Group, supporting accreditation visits, and coordinating development of specialist accreditation software.

You will represent the Business School at relevant events, gain training in a wide variety of Quality Assurance and Accreditation processes and will contribute to coordinating additional projects across other faculty functions.


The ideal applicant will be confident at gathering, collating and presenting data in different formats, coordinating multiple and competing projects, and be confident communicating with internal and external stakeholders at all levels to deliver a quality project support function.

  • We support staff to maintain a work/life balance,
