We are looking for an exceptional candidate to join the new Agrifood Futures team and play a key role in supporting the implementation of this exciting programme of work.

This role is focused on providing administrative support to the new Agrifood Futures team. This will be a team of 10 senior academic and professional services colleagues, responsible for delivering a major programme of investment in agrifood research.

In this role, you will help to support delivery of this exciting programme of activity through the high-quality administrative support services you provide, establishing new ways of working for the team and refining these as the team’s work matures.

Take initiative within the Agrifood Futures team, providing proactive administrative assistance to senior members of the team.
Confidently engage with internal, external and senior stakeholders and partners through in-person meetings, phone calls, and other communication channels.
Coordinate key documents and handle email correspondence on behalf of senior colleagues.
Proactively manage complex and dynamic schedules to ensure senior colleagues can work efficiently and effectively.
Support delivery of events associated with Agrifood Futures, such as conferences, seminars and meetings, playing an active role in their success. You will also contribute to other University events as part of the wider EGO team, such as Open Days and Graduation.

You will have:

Strong ability to manage multiple priorities effectively while meeting deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Proven experience in administrative and supportive roles within a busy office setting.
Demonstrated ability to resolve issues and queries independently with sound judgment.
Exceptional organisational and time management skills.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to ensure effective collaboration and liaison.
A collaborative mindset, working effectively within a team to achieve shared goals.
