We are looking for an innovative and collaborative leader who can help drive forward RSU’s strategic objectives. The successful candidate will be confident in leading change and will have experience of identifying and reacting to opportunities and challenges presented by an ever-changing environment. There is also opportunity to grow our commercial revenue stream, so our new CEO should bring an entrepreneurial mindset and financial acumen to the role.  

The successful candidate must embody and embed our values- approachable, empowering, inclusive, representative, passionate and fun. You must be an adaptable, flexible, and resourceful leader who can nurture our passionate staff team. You will also be collaborative and supportive to enable our student leaders to achieve their goals and full potential.

Our new Chief Executive will help to continue to build on our excellent relationship with the University of Roehampton, whilst developing new and existing strategic partnerships in the community and empowering our elected student leaders to represent the voice of students. You must have experience in building and maintaining strong, influential relationships with strategic partners and stakeholders and be confident in representing the Students’ Union at all levels.

Sustainability and inclusivity are the cornerstones of the RSU. These principles must be demonstrated in your work, along with the ability to achieve clear strategic outcomes aligned to the RSU’s objectives.
