Director of Residential Services
Head of Accommodation Services
MRG were mandated to find a Head of Accommodation Services for University of Lincoln, a critical role to transition the accommodation back under university management and launch the new state of the art waterside accommodation. The search was highly focused on those operating within the student accommodation sector. The shortlist of 6 candidates all had previous sector experience and brought a wealth of knowledge. The successful candidate had experience of operating at senior level within the university and private sector; including mobilising several buildings and implementing a new revenue management platform.
MRG have worked with the University of Birmingham across several executive appointments. Having successfully delivered across these, they were then mandated to find the new Director of Residential Services, which would play a key part delivering their vision of providing world class facilities. The key for this appointment was finding an individual who had demonstrable experience of managing a similar size of portfolio to that at the university, with extensive experience in leadership and change management. Conducting a nationwide search across student accommodation, hotels and residential, the candidates were interviewed and assessed against the agreed matrix, resulting in a strong shortlist of 9. MRG guided the candidates through the interview processes and offer stage, with the successful individual being appointed from a private provider with a comparable portfolio.
