Policy Leaders Fellowship Programme Manager (Fixed Term)
The Centre for Science and Policy (CSaP) brokers interactions between policy professionals and experts from the sciences, social sciences, humanities, engineering and technology. CSaP does this through a range of activities including policy fellowships, professional development, policy workshops, and networking events.
CSaP benefits from being hosted by the Cambridge Judge Business School (CJBS), which leverages the power of academia for real world impact to transform individuals, organisations and society. Since 1990, Cambridge Judge has forged a reputation as a centre of rigorous thinking and high-impact transformative education, situated within one of the world's most prestigious research universities, and in the heart of the Cambridge Cluster, the most successful technology entrepreneurship cluster in Europe. The overall purpose of this role is to manage the Policy Leaders Fellowship Programme and take responsibility for the recruitment of new Fellows and the organisation and delivery of high profile, often highly sensitive, roundtable and one-to-one discussions with relevant academics. The Fellowship has 18-24 Fellows over the course of two years and recruits 9-12 new Fellows each year to replace those that have come to the end of their Fellowship. Fellows meet three times a year in Cambridge to discuss pressing policy challenges with relevant academics and other experts and three times a year in London at discussions co-hosted by the Royal Society.
The role-holder will work alongside CSaP's Senior Management Team to further the Centre's organisational development and wider objectives through connections between academia, government and partner organisations. In addition, the role holder will lead operational delivery of events for high-level supporters that provide support to the Centre, including the Dowling Policy Fellowship. The role-holder will work with the Executive Director and other staff to monitor and develop income streams for CSaP and ensure that the Policy Leaders Fellowship and supporter programmes (which generate income of approx. £130,000 per annum) is delivered to a high standard. The role-holder will be responsible for development of these programmes and will explore opportunities to increase income over time. Educated to first degree level (or with an equivalent qualification or experience) you will be familiar with the University research environment and have experience of working at a senior level in an administrative setting. With experience in strategic planning and operational delivery, you will have a high level of attention to detail and be a proven team player. Excellent interpersonal skills and a high level of professionalism will be required in your interactions with CSaP's demanding and high-level stakeholders. To be successful in this role you will need to have flexible and proactive working methods, and the ability to comprehend a sufficient level of complex information about research across all academic disciplines. Excellent project management, organisational and administrative skills are also a prerequisite for this role.
