About the role
Oxford Cultural Leaders was founded in 2015. It is a highly acclaimed leadership programme for UK and global leaders in the cultural and creative sectors and is run by Oxford University's Gardens, Libraries and Museums with colleagues at the Saïd Business School. The programme includes an annual Residential Programme in Oxford, OCL Online, OCL Coaching, OCL for GLAM and OCL Bespoke. OCL programmes aim to challenge and redefine the identity of leaders in the arts and cultural sectors and to shape their vision at a time of challenge and complexity. The cohorts for OCL come from across the world, from over 200 organisations to date, and create networks which are brought together as part of our OCL Alumni Membership Programme.
