We are looking for an exceptional programme manager with a passion for higher education to change the lives of hundreds of young people from around the UK.
The US–UK Fulbright Commission is a not–for–profit organisation funded by both governments to promote educational exchange between the US and the UK. The Commission offers prestigious Awards for postgraduate study and academic research in the US, as well as an Advisory Service. As part of the EducationUSA advising network, the Advisory Service is the only official source of US study information in the UK.
As part of our advising mission, we deliver the Sutton Trust US Programme. Working in partnership with the Sutton Trust, one of the UK’s leading social mobility charities, the ambitious programme gives highly talented state school students a taster of US culture and higher education through an annual programme of support, including London–based residentials and a week–long summer programme at a US university campus.
Those students interested in pursuing a full undergraduate degree in the US receive one–to–one guidance and application support from the team throughout the admissions and financial aid process in the autumn.
The role is one of three programme managers who coordinate the administration of the Sutton Trust US Programme – from programme selection, residential coordination, US admissions advice, through to pre–departure programming before students enrol at a US institution. The programme is administered by the Fulbright Commission, and the programme manager works in the advising team within the Commission.
You will offer strong event management, project management, communication and empathy skills as well as have experience advising young people. Given the mission of our organisation and the nature of the Sutton Trust US Programme, candidates with experience with the US higher education system will be at a strong advantage. Also helpful for the role will be experience of working with young people either in a professional or volunteering capacity.
Please note, you must have the prior legal right to work in the UK.
Location: Central London office (remote working currently but office is reopening in July for those that want it and then moving to part home/part office working from September for all staff)
