Job description

School Administrator, Business School (BUS220A)

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 Business School is entering an ambitious phase, having secured EQUIS accreditation in 2023 and now preparing for reaccreditation in 2026 while broadening its portfolio of specialist accreditations. This work exposes you to the School’s strategic priorities and the operational realities behind them, offering a level of visibility and understanding rarely available in early-career roles.

The School is proud to have been awarded the Athena SWAN Bronze Award for equality and diversity (one of only a handful of Business Schools in the UK with this award). Details can be found here: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/business/people/equality-and-diversity-234.php.

Salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 5 scale, £33,002 - £36,636 per annum and negotiable with placement according to qualifications and experience.

In accordance with the UKVI immigration rules, it is with regret that this role DOES NOT MEET THE SALARY REQUIREMENTS for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route. For this role, the successful candidate must be able to demonstrate their right to work in the UK prior to commencing employment and obtain the right to work in the UK. Information on other visa options is available at https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa .

The closing date for the receipt of applications is 07 January 2026

The Business School embraces a diverse working environment and recognises the many benefits this can bring. Applications from individuals from across all of the equality protected characteristics are encouraged.
