Are you ready to help shape the future of an internationally leading atmospheric and environmental science research organisation? Are you an exceptional operational leader with the ability to translate the NCAS strategy into practical organisation-wide outcomes? Do you have experience operating at a senior level, working with Executives, Boards and senior external stakeholders?
The National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) is a world-leading research centre, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), dedicated to advancing understanding of our atmosphere and helping society adapt to environmental change.
We are looking for an exceptional leader to play a key role in delivering our vision and strategy across a complex, partnership-based organisation. Working with senior stakeholders from across the UK research and environmental science community, you will help translate strategic ambitions into organisation-wide outcomes, ensuring effective communication, collaboration and performance across NCAS.
This is a high-profile and varied role where no two days are the same. One day you could be representing NCAS at senior meetings with stakeholders and partners; the next, supporting the delivery of events, projects or strategic initiatives. As part of a small and collaborative organisation, you will be equally comfortable operating at a strategic level and taking a hands-on approach when needed.
We are looking for someone who:
• Is an outstanding leader with the ability to influence across complex organisations.
• Can turn strategic goals into practical, measurable outcomes.
• Builds strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
• Thrives in a dynamic environment and enjoys variety in their work.
• Enjoys working in a varied role and brings a practical, hands-on approach to delivery.
Applications are welcomed from candidates with experience in the commercial, public, charity, research or higher education sectors.
