Management Practice and Leadership at Saïd Business School
*Within the Saïd Business School’s faculty is a community of practice-oriented academics, referred to as “Management Practice,” whose scholarly activities and teaching impact business and management practice in businesses and governmental organisations around the world. Largely through involvement in Executive Education at the School and active engagement with senior leaders and organisations around the world, our Management Practice faculty bring their experience and scholarly insights to help leaders and, by extension, their organisations perform better and achieve a greater positive impact on the communities they serve.
This position is a senior faculty post in Management Practice, focusing on leadership, at the professorial level. Professors of Practice at the Saïd Business School are highly experienced and globally recognised business thought leaders in their academic discipline (in this case, leadership). They are also engaging teachers (particularly for senior executive audiences) and effective executive education programme directors.
For this position, the School seeks an academically qualified practice-oriented academic as a Professor of Practice who will play a critical role in designing and delivering flagship leadership-focused executive education programmes and, through their scholarly work, generate novel, impactful, and practically relevant insights.
This is a full-time, permanent position with a one-year probation period.
Closing date is 12:00 midday GMT on Monday 8th of September 2025
Responsibilities

2. To engage in scholarly activities with particular emphasis on the needs of executive practitioners. This includes articles in practitioner-orientated journals such as Harvard Business Review or MIT Sloan Management Review, the production of case studies and other innovative teaching materials, and the publication of scholarly and practice-orientated books. Candidates are expected to develop a distinctive external reputation for international thought leadership and a proven track record of significant practitioner engagement and impact in their specialist field.
3. To lead the design and development of Executive Education programmes in the area of leadership, including the mapping of current resources within the University and understanding of client-side needs and objectives, the creation of innovative and appropriate programme architectures, and the selection and briefing of appropriate teaching faculty.
4. To develop and manage a network of relationships within existing and prospective clients, working with the Business Development team and the School’s Corporate Relations team as appropriate.
5. To develop, in close collaboration with Custom and Open programme Teams, the design of a strategy to leverage existing success around leadership into a strong pipeline of work leading to impact.
6. To take the roles of Programme Director and/or Academic Director in the delivery of assigned executive education programmes, setting and managing participant expectations, positioning each programme session and its objectives within the overall design, reviewing evaluations and planning continuous improvement.
7. To have on-going liaison with participants and host organisations for the assigned programmes, monitoring the impact of the programme and opportunities for appropriate follow-up.
Selection criteria
1. An advanced degree at the level of a doctorate (e.g., PhD or DBA) in a relevant academic discipline, with a preference for a focus on management, leadership, and/or organisational behaviour.
2. A distinguished track-record of publications such as articles in academic and/or practitioner-oriented journals generally oriented toward practitioners and books aimed at a practitioner audience.
3. A record of demonstrable impact, through education and other scholarly activities, on business practice and/or business-related public policy.
4. Recognised in the business practitioner community as a significant, highly credible, and well respected authority on leadership and related topics.
5. Extensive experience in designing, delivering, and directing highly successful executive education programmes in business schools, particularly where programme participants are experienced senior leaders from business and/or government organisations.
6. Deep knowledge of the executive education market and what participants and corporate clients seek when engaging with a business school for executive education purposes.
7. A strong track record of external engagement with businesses and senior leadership teams.
8. Experience in the administration and leadership of business schools, including executive education units within business schools, and demonstrable competence in such work.
