Strategic Projects Coordinator

This brand-new role is all about turning ideas into action. As our Strategic Projects Coordinator, you’ll be the driving force behind the successful delivery of high-impact projects and campaigns led by our elected Sabbatical Officers. You’ll work closely with the Officer team to plan, manage, and evaluate projects that shape the student experience – from defining objectives and establishing clear timelines to coordinating resources and mitigating risks. You can expect to navigate complex and politically sensitive environments, balancing the different priorities of our Officer team.

Your work will include developing clear project roadmaps, implementing effective communication strategies to engage the student community, and supporting our Officers to engage with national campaigns that impact student wellbeing. You’ll also play a key role in advising Officers on policy changes, gathering data and insights to inform evidence-based initiatives, and reporting back on progress to senior leadership and trustees.

Beyond project delivery, you’ll provide training and coaching to help Officers develop strong leadership and project management skills, and you’ll coordinate flagship events such as handovers, inductions, and residentials. This is a fast-paced, varied role where your ability to research, organise and innovate will make a tangible difference to thousands of students.
