The opportunity

We are looking for an organised and collaborative individual to join us as the Business and Innovation Administrator in the Business and Innovation department at London College of Fashion (LCF). The role sits within Enterprise Projects, a team which develops and manages LCF’s large-scale, externally-funded Knowledge Exchange (KE) projects. Knowledge Exchange is one of three priority areas, along with teaching and research, in the academic mission of University Arts London (UAL). Working in collaboration with businesses, Universities and third-sector organisations, LCF’s KE projects are pioneering change within the fashion industry and enhancing the student experience. The Business & Innovation team plays an important role in delivering the College’s Knowledge Exchange strategy, providing platforms for the benefit of our students, graduates and staff that support local and global enterprise, boosting economic development as well as creating social value. This professional management service enables LCF staff to access seamless support from knowledge exchange professionals to successfully deliver all industry engagement projects and plans.   


As the Business and Innovation Administrator, your remit will include:
Providing administrative support for the development and delivery of current and new KE projects, including coordination of contributions from staff and external university and industry partners, setting up project budgets and supporting financial administration, maintaining and storing project documents, risk registers and assets. 
 
Assisting the Enterprise Project Manager with the planning and implementation of Knowledge Exchange project activities, including preparing briefing presentations, and supporting the development and delivery of events and workshops for students, alumni and external businesses.  
 
Contribute to LCF’s internal and external KE reporting by leading on administrative elements and working closely with the Business and Innovation data analyst to continuously improve this service. The role holder will pro-actively develop links across LCF to inform colleagues of reporting procedures, providing training to colleagues where required, and gain relevant information from departments and schools, in order to maintain the college’s KE reporting metrics and prepare regular reports in a timely manner, as required.  
 
Provide administrative support for contracts relating to B&I-led activities. Under the guidance of the Enterprise Project manager liaise with UAL contracts managers and follow signing and storage requirements as required by the UAL contracts procedures and external funders.
