Oxford SU Transformation
In 2024/25 Oxford SU is going through a Transformation. We’re reviewing every aspect of what we do, why we do it and how we do it. We’re looking for innovative, creative and intellectual staff to support us through this process – people who can think big whilst also making sure that the day-to-day gets done
Oxford SU is a student-led organisation. You’ll be working with exceptional elected leaders and student volunteers across a wide range of projects – balancing your experience and expertise with active student representation and input. We work in a high-support, high-challenge environment – we are a small and relatively flat staff team which means our staff use their initiative and work together as a high performing team.
This stage of Transformation is due for review at the end of June 2025, after which we hope to be launching the next stage of the new Oxford SU.
About the role
We are looking for someone to take on a pivotal role in enhancing academic representation and education quality at the University of Oxford. In this position, you will empower our student representatives with the tools, training, and policy insights they need to advocate effectively for their peers. You'll ensure Oxford SU remains a vibrant and democratic organisation by developing strong procedures and accountability structures. As part of our Transformation project, you will also lead a review of our approach to academic representation and implement improvements that elevate the educational experience across the university.
