One of our clients an International University wishes to recruit a Vice Chancellor for their Zambian operation.
The preferred candidate should have strong commercial focus and show business acumen with a leaning towards execution and forward progress. A candidate that takes ownership of the operational management.
The ideal candidate must have a Doctorate degree and experience at either a public or a private university in Zambia in a senior role, preferably VC or DVC. The ideal candidate will possess the ‘academic’ and ‘character’ traits expected of a senior academic in Zambia. He or she will ideally possess the skills, competencies and character to inspire and lead and to make an impression on the general Zambian public.
The VC will also be required to ensure high academic standards and compliance with the HEA as enforced by the Zambian Higher Education Authority in the delivery of relevant and sound academic programmes with a ‘student focus’ ethos.
