Overview

About the Role

Queen Mary is a leading university for knowledge exchange. The third Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) showed we are among the top 20% of English universities for public and community engagement, research partnerships, and IP and commercialisation. Our Strategy 2030 sets out our ambition to improve our knowledge exchange further, building on our existing strengths and unique identity to deliver commercial, environmental, cultural and place-based benefits, opportunities for students and increased prosperity.

The Knowledge Exchange Manager is a new role that will provide essential support for this work: monitoring the delivery of the university strategy and plans, leading cross-cutting strategic projects and working to raise the profile of knowledge exchange across the university.

The post is part of the Research Services Directorate. The post is primarily based at Queen Mary Dept W near Whitechapel but will require occasional travel to other Queen Mary sites and external meetings.

Benefits

In return, we offer 30 days’ leave per annum, access to a pension scheme, a season ticket loan scheme and competitive salaries. We also offer enhanced family friendly leave, and an on-site nursery at the Mile End campus. You will also work with a friendly team, with personal development opportunities.
