About us
UCL is one of the world's leading universities, recognised for academic excellence, global impact, and a strong commitment to tackling real-world challenges. We are a diverse community where bold ideas are not only welcomed but expected, and where thinking differently is part of our culture.
As UCL continues to deliver an ambitious portfolio of institutional transformation and local improvement activity, we are strengthening our change capability across faculties to ensure change is delivered effectively, sustainably and with people at its heart.
About the role
Please note these roles are 24 month contracts.
We are seeking experienced and influential change professionals to join some of our faculties as a Faculty Change Lead. This is a strategically important role, working in partnership with Faculty leadership and UCL's Strategic Change community to shape, deliver and embed change across a complex and evolving environment.
You will lead and coordinate change activity across the Faculty, ensuring local priorities are aligned with major institutional programmes and wider transformation initiatives. Acting as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, you will help shape, plan and land the Faculty's change agenda, oversee the delivery of change initiatives, and ensure new ways of working are successfully adopted and sustained.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will also play a key role in building change capability across the Faculty, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and helping colleagues confidently navigate and lead through change.
About you
You are an experienced change and transformation professional with a strong track record of delivering complex change within large, multi-stakeholder organisations. Comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels, you bring expertise in stakeholder engagement, organisational change, operating model design and embedding sustainable outcomes.
You have strong influencing and relationship-building skills, with the confidence to work alongside senior leaders, challenge constructively, and support decision-making through insight and evidence.
You are equally passionate about developing others, building capability and creating an environment where change can succeed. Experience in higher education or another complex, devolved environment would be beneficial, as would change management qualifications.
