This position is a senior faculty post in Management Practice*, focusing on leadership, at the professorial level.

 

 

Saïd Business School has experienced a period of rapid growth in its Executive Education activity, in terms of turnover, profit, numbers of participants and corporate clients, and geographic reach. More importantly, Executive Education is a testing ground for ideas, a place for co-creation of new ideas with executives, and a channel to have impact.

 

Executive Education at Saïd Business School draws on the entire resource base of Oxford University, to offer executive development that both inspires individuals and creates significant business impact through programmes that enable transformational thinking.

 

The School’s portfolio of future-facing open-enrolment, online, diploma and custom programmes build long-term partnerships with our clients – developing, empowering and supporting their activities at both the individual and organisational level. Oxford provides personal interaction and peer to peer learning opportunity, bringing together diverse senior level executives from across the world allowing participants to benefit from discussing strategic questions with peers from regions at different stages of the economic cycle.

 

Cutting-edge academic theory is mixed with extensive practitioner experience. Leading Oxford scholars from other disciplines illuminate the broader global context, fostering dialogue and debate about the real issues of business, combining with global experts providing practical business concepts and solutions.

 

 

*Within the Saïd Business School’s faculty is a community of practice-oriented academics, referred to as “Management Practice,” whose scholarly activities and teaching impact business and management practice in businesses and governmental organisations around the world. Largely through involvement in Executive Education at the School and active engagement with senior leaders and organisations around the world, our Management Practice faculty bring their experience and scholarly insights to help leaders and, by extension, their organisations perform better and achieve a greater positive impact on the communities they serve.

 

This position is a senior faculty post in Management Practice, focusing on leadership, at the professorial level.

For this position, the School seeks an academically qualified practice-oriented academic as a Professor of Practice who will play a critical role in designing and delivering flagship leadership-focused executive education programmes and, through their scholarly work, generate novel, impactful, and practically relevant insights.
