The Opportunity

Are you ready to lead change at one of the world’s most influential creative universities?

University of the Arts London (UAL) is embarking on an ambitious strategic refresh under our new Vice-Chancellor, and we’re looking for a Project Manager who can drive transformation, engage diverse stakeholders, and deliver projects that will shape the student experience and our global creative impact.

As Project Manager, you will play a pivotal role in implementing UAL’s future-fit Operating Model, a model that is student-centred, sustainable, and world-class. You will manage project timelines, risks, stakeholders, and deliverables, ensuring progress against milestones. Leading projects through initiation, design, delivery, and closure, you will coordinate across academic and professional services teams and ensure outputs meet the highest standards.

This is a high-profile, high-impact role requiring excellent planning, communication, and stakeholder management skills. You will also contribute to shaping UAL’s culture of collaboration, inclusivity, and innovation, helping design the operating model that will underpin our next chapter.

About you

You will bring proven experience of managing or coordinating projects in large, complex and multi-stakeholder environments. Familiarity with organisational design, service design or operating model transformation would be an advantage, as would experience in higher education.

You’ll be confident in:

• Leading project planning, risk management and delivery to tight deadlines.

• Engaging diverse stakeholders, facilitating workshops and gaining buy-in at all levels.

• Communicating clearly and persuasively to a range of audiences, including senior leaders.

• Building collaborative relationships across organisational boundaries.

If you’re ready to make a lasting impact at a world-class creative university, we want to hear from you.

If you have any general questions or have accessibility needs, please contact

For further details and to apply please click the apply button.

Closing date: 23:55, 22nd October 2025.

Our culture

UAL is committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments for all staff and students to work and learn – a university where we can be ourselves and reach our full potential. We offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements and Staff Support Networks. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds, including race, disability, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion and belief, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, and caring responsibility

In this role, you’ll be working with ambitious manufacturing businesses to help them deliver visionary projects, working with senior leaders down to shop-floor staff, across finance, cost, estimating, procurement, engineering and quality, business development, and business transformation.

This role is very project-based, but your title will be ‘Business Transformation Coach’. We’ll walk you through the what, how and why – providing all the training, guidance and mentoring you’ll need. You won’t just be a corporate cog or a caviller consultant, bulldozing into a company and walking away. We work with our clients, not for them. We’re business transformation experts, providing support, coaching and expertise to enable companies to thrive.

This role will appeal to you if your traits are inquisitive, humble, and articulate. Our team of transformation coaches thrive on developing great people and businesses for this generation and the next. There’s variety every day, and you’ll be influencing and instigating progressive change.

This is not a tick-box job or a boxed-off role in a specific department and/or company.  You’ll learn from fellow coaches and quickly broaden your knowledge and understanding of how a rich variety of business types can operate, develop, and thrive.

The Key Requirements…

• Two to four years of experience in leading and delivering projects (within any industry)
• Demonstrable success in driving change by working with or leading a cross-functional team
• Evidence of influencing the thinking of senior business leaders, building trust and credibility
• IT proficiency – the ability to interpret and manipulate data via Microsoft Excel
• A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle

**Please note that this is a client-facing role which will require you to work away from home (in the UK) up to four nights a week**

You’ll be working for a company that values integrity, inspiration, and purpose. This role is far from just technical talk and know-how; it’s that flair for building relationships, trust, and credibility. You might have the answers, but you can’t do the work yourself. This role is all about influencing without authority, earning the respect and belief of the people who’ll need to enact the solutions you advise.

Initially, you’ll work with a mentor and liaise closely with an on-site project leader. As you grow into the role, you’ll support more clients and take on overall project ownership. This is a Monday-to-Friday role, working and travelling remotely and working from home on Fridays.

We help to inspire clarity of purpose, efficient working environments, and professional engagement. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with local workforces, training, coaching, and mentoring businesses to address their own specific goals and challenges.  We are motivated by sharing expert knowledge and helping ambitious supply chain companies to grow, evolve, and thrive.
