Research and Knowledge Exchange Coordinator

London College of Communication (LCC), part of University of the Arts London (UAL), is seeking a proactive and highly organised Research and Knowledge Exchange (RKE) Coordinator to join our dynamic team on a fixed-term basis.

This role is central to supporting the development and dissemination of research-led knowledge exchange activities across the College, working closely with academics, students, and external partners.

You will play a key role in coordinating projects, events and facilitating collaborations that advance LCC’s research and knowledge exchange culture and social purpose strategy. From organising research-led KE activities to supporting consultancy and collaborative projects, you’ll help ensure our work has meaningful impact within the College and the wider community.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a vibrant team environment and make a difference through research-led knowledge exchange initiatives that address current social issues.

Your communication skills—written, verbal, and digital—enable you to engage effectively with diverse audiences, from academics and students to external partners. You are confident working with data, producing analytical reports, and using your initiative to solve problems creatively.
