Your new company

You will be joining a leading university research centre based in London, with a strong focus on delivering high-quality academic research. The team works on large-scale, collaborative projects with external partners and funders, supporting impactful research activity across multiple programmes.

Your new role

As a Research Coordinator, you will provide essential operational support to the Executive Director and wider research team, ensuring the smooth delivery of research projects. This is a coordination-focused role where you will manage processes, track timelines, and support day-to-day project activity rather than contributing to strategic or policy development.

You will support the full research lifecycle, including coordinating grant applications, organising documentation, and managing project timelines. Once projects are underway, you will monitor progress, coordinate meetings, and ensure reporting requirements are completed accurately and on time.

The role will involve regular communication with internal teams and external partners, ensuring information flows effectively and projects stay on track. You will also support the organisation of events, preparation of materials, and general administrative processes to enable efficient delivery across the research centre.

What you'll need to succeed

• Experience in project coordination, administration, or operational support

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines

• Excellent communication skills and ability to coordinate with a range of stakeholders

• A proactive and detail-oriented approach

• Confidence working independently in a fast-paced environment

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and general administrative systems

What you'll get in return

• Opportunity to work within a leading academic institution

• Exposure to international research projects and stakeholders

• A varied role with strong development and progression opportunities

• Collaborative and supportive working environment

• Flexible working options available
