Intro

 

We are working exclusively with NYU to source an Executive Director (ED) for the London site who will collaborate with NYU senior leadership to set and lead on NYUs London long term strategy. This is an ‘administrative’ senior leadership and operational management role.

 

The role

 

The ED is a full-time senior leadership position located in London, England reporting to the Board of Trustees of NYU London and will involve working closely with the Vice-Chancellor and Senior Vice Provost for Global Programs and University Life, who serves as the Chair for the Board, and the Vice President for Global Programs.

 

The ED will collaborate with the Academic Director in providing her administrative support in advancing and supporting her with regard to NYU London's academic strategies including faculty recruitment, faculty development, curriculum development, course selection, and maintaining strong relationships with heads of academic departments at the degree-granting campuses in New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai.

 

The ED will also directly oversee all other operations at NYU London and therefore the following units report directly to this position: Academic Operations, Student Life, and Administration (including finance and budget planning, human resources, IT, space management, and facilities). 

 

As the key administrator and leader for NYU London, this position’s responsibilities include embracing NYU’s University Initiatives (https://www.nyu.edu/about/university-initiatives.html) which include Diversity, Affordability, Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Sustainability, and Student Success, and ensuring that the NYU London team is advancing these initiatives.  In addition, the ED oversees NYU London’s response to the crisis and is expected to establish and maintain a strong community engagement in and around London with key academic institutions and businesses in supporting our established strategic mission.  NYU London is a charity organization and this role will collaborate with leadership in NY on the promotion of NYU activities including alumni events and fundraising in support of NYU London and NYU.

 

NYU is committed to being a welcoming campus community that reflects and enacts the values of inclusion, diversity, belonging equity, and accessibility that informs academic excellence. This position will not only enhance our commitment but whose experience, abilities, skills, and community engagement efforts contribute to diverse, equitable, inclusive learning and working environments for our students, staff, and faculty.  

 

The person would suit someone with

 

  • A track record of exceptional senior organizational/operational leadership experience in a university setting
  • Experience in driving academic programme development and improvements
  • Experience in managing, developing, and improving operational processes within a business and academic environment
  • Experience in leading on successful projects and initiatives including change management
  • An understanding that NYU London is a study away campus as opposed to an ordinary University site and therefore requires a more unique university leadership approach
  • Experience in overseeing and championing diversity and inclusion initiatives
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence and engage employees from all levels
