The Cranfield University Commercial Team welcomes applications for the Project Leadership Programme. We are seeking candidates with substantial client administration experience within and Executive or Higher Education environment, particularly those with a strong track record of working with public sector clients.
About the Role
The Programme contract requires the delivery of consistently high standards of customer service to programme delegates, our client and partners, alongside effective support for internal stakeholders (primarily Faculty members and Associates delivering the Programme).

You will be a confident communicator with strong customer relations skills and be able to demonstrate your ability to deal with people at all levels of the business, from different cultures, both in person and via email.
The role requires excellent planning, organisational and administrative skills, with exceptional attention to detail and an ability to prioritise and organise your workload to ensure relevant procedures are followed and deadlines met.
In return, the successful candidate will have exciting opportunities for career development in this key administration position and will join a supportive team and environment.
