As part of the Department of Personnel and Organisation Management (OPM) team, you're involved in educational delivery at the bachelor and master level, including our own MSc Human Resource Management (HRM) and RSM's Master in Management (MiM). As our education co-ordinator you play a critical role in planning and supporting educational delivery to enable us to continue to deliver excellent education. We're a diverse group and we apply micro- and macro-perspectives to understand the dynamics of organisations and their employees, and organisations' interactions with their environment.

You work closely with the academic directors (ADs) of MSc HRM and MiM to plan our teaching and educational support needs. On a broader scale, you work with faculty in our department to develop and manage the teaching plans for our activities, including our central involvement in RSM's two bachelor programmes. You achieve this by drawing on your project management experience and putting your solid excel skills to use to develop a new resource plan to support budget management.

You also have regular contact with our department chair and secretaries, along with RSM's programme management and learning innovation teams and our student representatives. Your outstanding interpersonal skills and proactive approach to building relationships are therefore key.

At RSM our main language is English but, of course, many people also speak Dutch. English fluency is therefore a must and Dutch language skills are a benefit.

As you are central to the delivery of our teaching activities, a keen interest in methods of educational delivery and in learning about new techniques and technologies is also important. You put this enthusiasm to use by seeking opportunities to create synergy between our different courses and opportunities to support our faculty in delivering learning innovation.

Understanding the way people operate is central to the success of any organisation. Managing people requires understanding organisations in their full complexity, thus at several levels of analysis. The department covers topics on four levels: those that apply to the individual such as leadership, leader development, power, incentives, and goals; those applying at the team level such as diversity, team processes, hierarchy, and professional identity; those at organisation level such as organisational learning, organisational design, coordination, organisational culture and change, and organisation of work; and topics at the level of the environment such as social, technological, economic changes, and politics.

Research within the department of Organisation and Personnel Management has always been a force for positive change, helping people and organisations worldwide to thrive and prosper. Pioneering faculty work at the forefront of human issues such as diversity, organisational change and leadership studies. Working successfully with business cultures that may have very different methods, expectations and models to those in Europe, the UK and North America constitute an important focus.
