Maynooth University, a place of research and learning for over 14,000 students and almost 1,300 staff, is one of the fastest growing third level institutions on the island of Ireland, with ambitious plans for the future of its campus. The University’s campus master plan envisions the expansion and enhancement of the university estate to host over 20,000 students in a vibrant learning environment, supporting world-class research, outstanding teaching and learning, and a vivid cultural and sporting life, in a rich, diverse, green and sustainable campus. The University not only envisions major developments in the physical facilities and infrastructure of the campus, but also significant changes in how it is operated and used.

The University seeks to appoint a leader and manager of exceptional talent to create and realise a shared vision for the future of the campus, oversee the further implementation of the campus master plan, design and deliver a major capital development programme, oversee the delivery of individual capital projects, and align campus and commercial services with the overall vision for the development and operation of the campus. This is a senior management role which requires an individual with an extensive track record of leading and motivating a large multi-functional team.
