The Programme Manager (BSc Economics, Finance and Data Science) is an integral part of the team responsible for the successful management and delivery of the Business School’s flagship undergraduate programme, which launched in 2023.

For the right candidate, this new role represents an excellent opportunity to contribute to an exciting and growing area of the Business School, and to establish and develop the processes and initiatives which will support the programme’s success.


Reporting to the Senior Programme Manager (Undergraduate Suite), you will work closely with another Programme Manager and a Programme Coordinator to manage the day-to-day running of the BSc.

Your focus will primarily be on the final year of the programme, when students take elective modules; complete a final group project; and start finalising their plans for after graduation. You will support students as they transition into and through their final year, working with a dedicated Head of Year to identify students who may need additional support. You will provide faculty teaching on the programme with expert support to help them in delivering the high-quality teaching our students expect.

Our first cohort of students will be entering their final year of the programme in October 2025, so this is an exciting opportunity to help develop and establish the robust processes which will ensure we can continue to deliver the programme successfully for future generations of students.


Sharing our enthusiasm and ambition to deliver programmes of the highest quality, you will have proven experience of supporting a variety of stakeholders; independently managing a high-volume and demanding workload effectively; and responding flexibly to opportunities and challenges as they arise.

Excellent communication, organisational and problem-solving skills are vital for this role, as is a strong customer focus and attention to detail. You will demonstrate exemplary administration and IT skills and have an interest in the use of technology in education.

You must be a strong team player with the proven ability to use your own initiative and work with minimal supervision. You will need to demonstrate a pro-active, positive attitude and the ability to juggle several tasks confidently.

Previous experience of working in higher education, ideally in an undergraduate-facing role, and an interest in Business Education are highly desirable.

10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
