About Us
At the University of East London (UEL), our Vision 2028 strategy sets out our ambition to become the UK's leading careers-first university. A central strand of this work is our Enterprise & Entrepreneurship Strategy. A university-wide commitment to ensuring every student has access to the skills, networks, and support to turn ideas into impact.
About You
We are seeking a dynamic and entrepreneurial-minded Student Enterprise Advisor to play a pivotal role in making that commitment a reality. This is one of two dedicated enterprise advisor positions. And it sits at the heart of how UEL supports aspiring founders and freelancers. Taking them from the first idea through to incorporation and early-stage business development.
The post holder will lead the delivery of BACK:ED, UEL's flagship start-up funding and support programme, while managing a caseload of student entrepreneurs through one-to-one coaching, curriculum-embedded enterprise sessions, and a weekly programme of workshops and activities. Working closely with aligned academic schools, they will help integrate enterprise education meaningfully into students' learning journeys, with a particular focus on freelancing, consultancy, and early-stage venture creation.
About The Role
This role combines programme leadership, student-facing delivery, curriculum collaboration, and external partnership management. You will work alongside the wider Enterprise team and engage regularly with incubators, investors, alumni entrepreneurs, and the broader start-up ecosystem to ensure students are connected to the networks and opportunities that matter.
