Head of TNE Programmes
The Head of TNE Programmes will lead Bristol’s approach to transnational education within the Global Partnerships team. This is a new role for a growing area of work: taking overseas education opportunities from interest and ambition into credible, feasible, financially sound programmes that Bristol can deliver with confidence. The role sits in Global Programmes and works closely with Global Relations, Faculties, Schools, Legal, Finance and senior academic colleagues. It will help Bristol decide where TNE is worth pursuing, what models are right for us, and how to build a portfolio that supports the International Engagement Plan: strengthening reputation, growing strategic education partnerships, diversifying our international student community and focusing effort where it can scale.Responsibilities
Set Bristol’s practical direction for TNE, turning ambition into a clear portfolio, roadmap and way of working. Help decide which opportunities are genuinely worth pursuing, using evidence on demand, partner fit, risk, quality and financial return. Work with Faculties, Global Relations and professional services to shape early ideas into credible programme proposals. Build the tools, processes and governance that make TNE development consistent, transparent and manageable. Make sure each proposal has a strong academic, commercial and operational case before it progresses. Lead the TNE Programmes team and help colleagues deliver complex work across institutional boundaries.Qualifications
You have significant specialist experience across the full cycle of transnational education, from concept and implementation to delivery and oversight. You can bring structure to ambiguous and complex work that is new to Bristol without slowing it down unnecessarily. You are commercially aware and comfortable with business cases, financial assumptions and risk‑based decisions. You can work confidently across all levels of seniority with academics, professional services, senior leaders and our overseas partners. You care about academic quality, student experience and institutional reputation, not just growth. You are a clear communicator and supportive manager who can lead a team through a developing area of work.
