School Administrator, Business School (BUS223A)
This seven-month post offers a rare chance to work at the centre of a world-class business school as it prepares for AACSB accreditation. The school is already EQUIS accredited, a distinction held by only around 230 of the 16,000 business schools worldwide. This is an opportunity to gain first-hand insight into how a leading international school evidences quality, drives improvement, and meets global benchmarks. It is an ideal platform for anyone looking to build a career in higher education management, accreditation, quality enhancement, or strategic project work.
Job Description
We are looking for someone who can think clearly, handle complexity, and keep a fast-moving project on track. You will bring strong analytical ability, confident communication, and the discipline to manage sensitive information with care. You’ll also need a practical mindset: there will be detailed work, but it sits within a high-impact project that shapes how the School presents itself to the world.
The purpose of this role is to help drive the School’s preparation for AACSB reaccreditation, a major strategic milestone that will influence how the School is positioned internationally. You will sit at the heart of this work, supporting academic Directors and senior professional colleagues by gathering and interpreting evidence, stress-testing information, and shaping the documentation that underpins our accreditation submissions.
This is not routine administration. You will be embedded in the Enhancements and Reputation Team and work across Accreditation, Quality Assurance and External Engagement, giving you direct exposure to how a leading business school measures performance, demonstrates impact, and presents itself to international reviewers. The role requires clear thinking, strong analytical judgement, and the confidence to navigate complex information across multiple areas of the School.
Salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 5, £33,002 - £36,636 per annum, and negotiable with placement according to qualifications and experience.
Informal enquiries should be made to Stephanie Marajh (stephanie.marajh@abdn.ac.uk).
