It's an exciting time to join Loughborough University. From our 440 acre campus in Leicestershire and our postgraduate London campus on Queen Elizabeth Park, the University is enjoying a time of unprecedent achievement.

We are seeking a Consultancy Contracts Manager to join the Partnership Development Team within the Research and Enterprise Office.
