Summary
As part of team of 9 Directing Staff (DS), each Course Design & Delivery Lead has a variable and interchangeable portfolio, which covers the detailed design, delivery and programming of 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 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 such as:
EU and NATO (Brussels).
UN and IGOs (Geneva).
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, Europe or East Asia).
