With an ambitious vision to be globally significant, we strive to lead and innovate, engaging locally, nationally, and internationally in the most pressing issues of today and tomorrow.
We are now seeking an exceptional Director of Strategic Planning and Governance to join our leadership team during a transformative period as we welcome a new Vice-Chancellor in 2025.

Lancaster is in an era of transformation and renewal, encompassing international campus expansion, engagement in major regional partnerships supporting economic growth, and a once-in-a-generation curriculum review. With the current strategic plan guiding us through 2026, the Director will work alongside senior leadership to shape the future direction of the University.
