As part of team of six Directing Staff (DS), each DS has a variable and interchangeable portfolio, which covers the detailed design, delivery and programming of all elements of the GSP across an academic year. The portfolio includes direct responsibility for designing major course components including seminars, lectures, strategy case studies, strategic leadership talks, study visits both in the UK and overseas, and strategy exercises (week-long dynamic role-play political simulation events).
You will undertake independent research, analysis and engagement across Whitehall and academia to identify new intellectual approaches, build new partnerships and drive innovation in the design of course components. You will lead on the detailed drafting of lecture specifications and the identification and arrangement of suitable external expert speakers from the world’s best universities, think tanks, journalism, NGOs, international organisations, governments and the private sector. You will oversee those course elements you design and be responsible for administration and logistics for the day-to-day running of the course, and you will assess feedback from Members (students) and staff to inform future planning.
Working closely with external organisations such as NGOs, private sector companies, military units, local government, embassies and high commissions, you will have a leading role in the planning, project management, governance, practical organisation and delivery of educational study tours that include:
Brussels (EU and NATO).
Geneva (UN).
UK industry and technology centres.
One UK Study Tour.
A three-week overseas study tour (OST) to 2-3 different countries in specific regions (e.g. Middle East, West Africa, Northern Europe or East Asia).
In executing an OST, you will undertake three weeks of detached duty each May/June, working very long days, which could be in a challenging or austere environment. The OSTs are one of the most rewarding aspects of the GSP.
Main Responsibilities
Under the guidance of the Head-GSP, lead on the delivery of a course module of the GSP. Draft the relevant documentation for Course Committee approval, plan the structure of the modules and produce the module programme, being cognisant of emerging trends and issues that need to be covered. You will also liaise with the Course Committee and the Director of Academic Studies to agree seminar topics and questions.
Research, identify and engage high-calibre subject matter expert speakers to meet the objectives for the term/module lectures, panels and case studies. Ensure seamless delivery of these serials. Proactively build and maintain a network of contacts and work collaboratively and inclusively.
Agree questions for the weekly Member surveys and, on completion of the surveys, review and assess Member feedback to inform the continuous improvement process of the entire course.
Plan, deliver and accompany UK external activities. Programme all serials and appropriate travel, logistics and accommodation, liaising with the Tour Leader and the regional hosts to ensure seamless delivery of the tour programme within the allocated budget.
Plan, deliver and accompany one of the three-week Overseas Study Tours to a specific region (two or three countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East or Europe) of the world. Work closely with embassies and high commissions to develop the visit objectives, intellectual content and programme, project manage and accompany the tour to meet learning objectives, acting as the focal point with all external organisations. Identify potential costs and ensure the tour remains within the agreed budget.
Other responsibilities as required. These could include developing and ensuring the successful delivery of Strategy Case Studies, Strategy Exercises or additional classroom or visit-based learning for the current GSP and future iterations.
