Sheffield Students’ Union is entering an ambitious new chapter shaped by our refreshed strategy. At the heart of this transformation is our newly established Student Influence, Partnerships and Policy team, and we are seeking a confident, creative and forward-thinking Partnerships and Policy Manager to lead this work.

As manager of this newly formed team, you will provide strategic direction while also overseeing the day-to-day operations of a growing function. You’ll manage coordinators, supervise student staff and work across departments through matrix management. Balancing long-term vision with operational delivery, you’ll need to be confident managing complex workloads and competing priorities.

We are looking for someone who is ambitious, collaborative and politically astute. You’ll bring experience in partnerships or policy development, paired with excellent communication skills and a genuine commitment to amplifying student voice. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on building relationships, influencing change and delivering work that makes a meaningful difference.
