King’s Business School asks challenging questions of business and wider society like: What is the meaning of work? Should business be more sustainable and ethical? What is modern slavery? Are AI and big data the future of finance?

 

King’s Business School (KBS) contributes towards answering these questions, changing the way business works whilst tackling the world’s major challenges for the good of the economy, the environment, society, and businesses everywhere.

The faculty incorporates seven academic departments with broad ranging programmes of activity across research, education, impact and engagement, thought leadership, and knowledge transfer, alongside several vibrant institutes and centres  within which the role holder will be based.

They will support Centre and Institute Directors to define the scope and scale of operations and communications strategy and objectives, ensuring the ambitions also meet wider strategic objectives of KBS.

 

Responsibilities span a broad range of activity, for example ensuring financial sustainability through a pipeline of grants and income, oversight of a portfolio of budgets, ensuring shared learning and practice in operations, communications, impact and knowledge exchange across all centres and institutes, and capturing outputs and knowledge to share effectively across internal and external boundaries.

 

They will lead and line manage the Centres and Institutes Business Operations team comprising of two Centre Managers, two Senior Business Operations Officers, and one Communications and Engagement Officer.
