Job description

King’s Professional & Executive Development (KPED) is part of the new School for Professional and Continuing Education (PACE) and is a specialist business development unit enabling King’s Faculties to deliver Professional Education to a wide international and domestic audience. We partner with all faculties at King’s to design, develop and deliver open and bespoke educational programmes in line with King's Education Strategy. In face-to-face, blended or online modalities, our programmes include Continuing Professional Development, Executive Education and increasingly, stackable micro-credentials. We are a small, high powered team with ambitious growth targets in an exciting area of development for King’s College London.

KPED is now seeking to recruit a Business Development Officer to support the development and delivery of the KPED portfolio for King’s Faculties, Centres, and Institutes. The individual will have experience working directly with clients, familiarity working with budgets and contracts, experience with supporting programme or project delivery and a background in a fast paced office environment. The post is suitable for a collaborative and proactive individual who enjoys working in teams to effectively deliver excellent service to internal and external stakeholders.

KPED’s project portfolio is growing rapidly and expanding to include opportunities afforded through online and blended modalities. The Business Development Officer will be working in a team to create effective mechanisms to support and enable such activities to 1) run efficiently 2) run at a profit and 3) build on King’s international brand.  The role will involve a mixture of administration, operational and data management, client relationship building, business development, and project management support.  

The role is primarily based at King’s Strand Campus; however, the post holder may be required to travel to other locations on occasion, be prepared to attend events in the evening/at weekends. As part of King’s trial of hybrid working, all team members can work remotely for part of the week if they wish to do so.
