The role of Director of Estates, Facilities and Commercial Services offers a challenging opportunity for a senior professional to lead a broad portfolio of services encompassing real estate development and management, facilities management and campus and commercial services.  This large and diverse remit gives the Director the opportunity to play a crucial role in the realisation of the University’s ambitious Sussex 2025 Strategy and the Chief Operating Officer’s vision for Sussex to benefit from the leading integrated professional services provision in the UK higher education sector.  It is therefore a highly exciting time for an ambitious individual to take up this role at the University.

The role calls for an individual who demonstrates highly disciplined, proactive, collaborative, resourceful and delivery focused behaviours and who possesses the leadership and stakeholder management skills required to succeed within a large, complex organisation.
