Departmental Management Team
The Chief People Officer is a member of the university’s executive board alongside a number of university committees. The Chief People Officer leads the overall strategy of the department including equality, diversity and inclusion. She is supported by the Deputy Director of People, who deputises for her and drives forward the people priorities for the department. The Deputy Director of People is in turn supported by the senior managers leading our key areas of People Operations, People Partnering, Organisational Change and Leadership and Organisational Development.

This area is led by the People Manager (Operations). People Operations consists of three smaller teams which work closely together to support managers and staff in a full range of their day to day activities.
