The School of Management is seeking to appoint a Rankings and Accreditation Manager to oversee these vital areas of the School’s strategy. The role holder will work closely with the Dean and other members of the School’s Executive Board, based within the Dean’s Office, leading a small team of two Rankings and Accreditation Officers and a part-time Data Officer.

The School of Management (SoM) is one of four faculties at the University of Bath, located on the edge of the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath. As one of the UK's leading Business Schools, the SoM offers a range of academic courses including undergraduate (BSc), pre- and post-experience master's (MSc, MBA), doctoral qualifications (PhD, DBA), and executive education. The School is consistently ranked among the top UK business schools, with notable rankings in Marketing, Business and Management, and Accounting and Finance, and is accredited by EQUIS and AMBA, with progress towards ACCSB accreditation.

The role has two main parts:

1. Collaborating with the Dean and Director of Accreditations to plan and manage submissions to accreditation bodies, including securing AACSB accreditation and renewing EQUIS and AMBA accreditations, as well as program-specific accreditations like ACCA and CFA.
2. Working with the Dean, Associate Dean International, and the rankings group to gather data, analyze rankings performance, monitor competitors, and produce reports. Many data requirements overlap between rankings and accreditation processes.

The post holder will foster strong relationships across the School and with external accreditation and rankings bodies. The role requires excellent communication, organizational, managerial, and analytical skills, with a strong emphasis on data collection and presentation, alongside project management abilities.

The School offers flexible, hybrid working arrangements, including remote work options. For an informal discussion, please contact Jenny Armstrong, Head of the Dean’s Office.
