Visiting School International Engagement Officer

The Visiting School International Engagement Officer works closely with the Head of the AA Visiting School (AAVS) to manage, develop, and organise all aspects of the Visiting School, and oversees the VS Coordinator on administrative and operational matters. This is an initiative-driven role with primary responsibility for the development of international and UK engagement through AAVS programmes, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and dissemination.
The International Engagement Officer will establish and manage partnerships and collaborations with institutions, practices, brands, and other stakeholders expanding and strengthening global networks to support the Visiting School's activities. The role is key to communicating the AA's approach to global challenges, driving innovative approaches to change, and fostering global impact by connecting with international press, academic leaders, businesses, entrepreneurs, and policymakers.
Key to the role is the International Engagement Officer's proven track record in developing and nurturing strategic relationships with potential donors, sponsors, and funding bodies, which is essential to securing financial support for AAVS initiatives and to ensure the sustainability and expansion of its activities. Through targeted outreach and engagement with industry leaders, alumni, and global partners, the International Engagement Officer will strengthen the financial foundation of the
