Ready to be
Groundbreaking?

If you've got a spirit for adventure then you're in the right place. As Engagement Manager you'll be at the heart of our ambition to become the world’s most student-centred organisation and we're not going to get there by behaving in a traditional way.

Instead you'll be responsible for leading a department that finds groundbreaking new ways of putting students in control of the SU and makes sure every one of our 15,000 members benefits from what we offer.

Your team will oversee the management of student elections and democracy and support this new generation of student leaders to achieve their aims and represent our members’ needs.
