The post-holders will work as part of an emerging team of five Academic Directors and in conjunction with a new Education Executive led by Chris. These new appointments and development of the Executive will help to ensure that we continue to remain at the very forefront of excellence in national and international education agendas.

The Academic Director (Employability and Skills) will lead the development of our strategic framework and vision for employability, working with academic departments, central service teams such as Careers and Skills, and Warwick SU to promote implementation and ensure alignment with our overall strategic goals.
