Hi all,
I wanted to share the attached position announcement for the director of the new Social Purpose Centre at Melbourne Business School, University of Melbourne. As a quick summary:
In embarking on a new era of growth and impact, Melbourne Business School is establishing a Social Purpose Centre (SPC) and is seeking an exceptional leader to become the Director. The SPC is supported by a joint endowment by the School and the Helen McPherson Smith Trust (HMST). The Centre is a strategic initiative of MBS, relevant to its purpose. It is reflective also of the intent of the endowment to advance the practice of leadership and management in the for-purpose sector so as to support its development and sustainability as a thriving and dynamic sector.
The Director of the Social Purpose Centre (SPC) is responsible for the overall leadership and effective operation of the Centre, with primary responsibility for all of its academic activities, and its contribution to the fulfilment of the School's purpose, vision and strategy and the intent of the endowment. Its activities will be directed at building the business capabilities of the for-purpose sector as well as the social purpose capabilities of the private sector. The Director will hold a continuing position as a member of the School's Faculty and an honorary appointment with the University of Melbourne.
It's worth noting MBS also houses the Dilin Duwa Centre for Indigenous Business Leadership, the Centre for Sustainability and Business, and the Centre for Business Analytics. Along with a variety of activities that individual faculty are working on, there is a lot of potential to build upon.
Application details are on the last page of the attached. Although the official closing date of 2 December has passed, applications are still being accepted.
Best,
Glenn Hoetker
