Location: 40 Queen Street, London EC4R 1DD
Salary: Up to £32,000 plus generous annual leave and pension

Purpose of the post

We are looking for an outstanding candidate to join our forward-thinking, friendly, and driven team. We are a business-minded, mission-led organisation motivated by our social and commercial goals. We exist to support our members to deliver a world class education and impactful research.

This post has been created at an exciting time for the Association. The Professional Development Coordinator will play a key role in developing and delivering CPD events, development programmes and webinars as part of our new CPD scheme for business school educators – the Certified Management & Business Educator (CMBE).

The CMBE scheme has been created in response to demand from our members to meet the need to provide continuous professional development and recognition for university teaching faculty. Business is the most popular subject for students studying in the UK and there is increasing pressure on universities to deliver and demonstrate higher standards of teaching. We are taking the initiative in the sector to support university business schools and faculty to develop and enhance their teaching provision.

The candidate will have experience in researching and developing content for event programmes or other learning & development and CPD activities. For example, this experience may include roles across conference production, developing educational courses and programmes, or producing learning & development content.

This is a new role so the post-holder will be able to shape it, with the support of the team, in line with our objectives for the scheme. For example, beyond the face-to-face provision and webinars we see the post-holder working in collaboration with academics to develop other online CPD content and materials such as video and articles.

If you think you can develop the programme for a series of workshops on ‘teaching with technology’, research the development needs for a webinar on ‘student engagement’, and source case studies for an event on ‘innovative learning and teaching methods’, we would love to hear from you.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.

Principal job functions & main tasks

1. CPD programme events and content development and delivery

a. Manage our portfolio of professional development workshops, development programmes and online content tailored for business and management educators;
b. Research and develop programme content that meet the professional development needs of our members. To do so will require:
    i. Conducting research via phone, email, surveys and face-to-face with senior level stakeholders and other teaching faculty;
    ii. Sourcing, inviting and briefing speakers and facilitators;
c. Plan, develop and deliver face-to-face professional development products that are viable for the association to run;
d. Identify and work with individuals in the sector to produce online content (mix of webinars, video and text) to be made available to subscribers;
e. Produce outstanding written copy for programme content, programme materials, and online CPD content;
f. Work with the marketing manager to plan and deliver marketing activity for professional development events;
g. Work with the CMBE Administrator to source venues, manage delegates, and deliver the event logistics before, during and after the event.

2. Budgeting and reporting

a. Work with the Director of Communications to manage budgets for the professional development events;
b. Work with the CMBE Administrator to assess and verify third party CPD events for inclusion in the CPD provision listings;
c. Produce weekly reports on registrations, revenue and other performance indicators.

3. Other
a. This is a new role on a new and exciting project. The role therefore may evolve as the project takes off.

Full details of the role and person specification can be found here.

The SBC (Small Business Charter) is a part of the Chartered Association of Business Schools and encourages business schools to work with and support SMEs and start-ups, including student start-ups. The award is earned by schools which have been assessed as being able to evidence their impact in the support they give. There is a rigorous assessment process which involves observation and analysis by members of small business representatives.

This is an exciting time for the SBC as we work with governments to drive up productivity and deliver the industrial strategy in the regions of the UK.

The SBC is governed by a Management Board which consists of entrepreneurs and small business leaders as well as business school academics and includes representatives for the Westminster and Welsh parliaments. The Management Board is chaired by Michelle Ovens MBE and the Lord Young of Graffham is the patron. The membership of the Management Board can be viewed here.

The Management Board meets four times a year to discuss strategy and to scrutinize the work of the SBC and those schools applying for the award. Meetings are held in London. Membership of the Board is for three years and as part of the rolling replacement of members we are now looking for an entrepreneur/small business representative to join the Board.

To be eligible to apply you will

• Be a senior leader or on the board of an SME; you don’t need to be the founder or CEO, but you must have executive or non-executive responsibility.
• Believe in the benefits that will come from galvanising business schools in working with entrepreneurs.
• Be prepared to travel (at your own expense) to London for quarterly board meetings. This is the minimum requirement, although you will also have the opportunity to contribute to working groups within the Management Board.
• Be willing to attend flagship events such as the summer reception

What is the Small Business Charter?

Lord Young’s 2013 report ’Growing Your Business’ recommended the development of a Small Business Charter for business schools. The Charter would encourage greater levels of engagement between business schools and the small business sector. The initiative was predicated on two fundamental beliefs: firstly, that a vibrant entrepreneurial community leads to higher employment; and secondly, that business schools can have a positive impact on the success rate of SME’s. The Government accepted this recommendation and charged the Chartered Association of Business Schools (ABS) with delivering the Charter. We formally received the Royal Charter on the 1st May 2015. To date, 36 business schools have been awarded the Charter.

For further information please refer to our web site: www.smallbusinesscharter.org and also to the web site of the Chartered ABS: www.charteredabs.org. If you would like an informal discussion before applying, please contact Anne Kiem.
