WBS Athena Swan Gold Submission 2023

School management and governance The school is managed by an Executive Team, responsible for shaping strategy and the daily running of the school. The leadership of the school reflects gender balance in the professoriate. The team is comprised of the Dean, four Pro-Deans, the COO and the Chief Finance Officer (CFO). It is 29% female (2 from 7).

The Senior Management Group (SMG) supports and advises the Executive Team on strategic and operational matters. 28% of members are female (7 from 25). In a change from 2017, all Heads of Group (HoGs) are now members of SMG, to better link faculty and the management of the school. Fourteen committees report via SMG to the Executive Team. Each committee is based upon the ethos of partnership and is composed of academic and PSS staff. Each employee at WBS works in either one of nine academic subject groups or thirteen professional services sections. Each subject group is managed by a HoG who reports into the Pro-Dean (Faculty). Since 2017 two HoGs have been female. PSS are managed by Section Heads (SH) (76.5% female) who report into one of three Directors (2 female), the COO (male), or the CFO (female).
