We’re inviting expert consultants who are passionate about driving lasting change, and do meaningful work with real impact, to join the network.

We’re currently looking for specialists in:

- Data and analytics: support better, more informed decisions. Use analytics and intelligence to improve outcomes for students, staff and institutions
- Research and innovation: enable open, collaborative research. Help the sector adopt new tools and practices that support discovery, impact and open science
Why join?
You’ll become part of a trusted community of experts who care about making a difference. You’ll work alongside our consultants and sector leaders on projects that matter and you’ll have access to a steady pipeline of consultancy work through a fair and transparent commissioning process.
