Management structure

Executive team

The Executive is the senior team within our organisation, accountable via the Chief Executive to the UCAS Board. The team comprises the Chief Executive and the Directors of eight business units.

A broader Senior Management Team, which includes the heads of sub-departmental units, and an Operational Delivery Team, which looks at the day-to-day running of the business, support the Executive.

The Executive bears collective responsibility for developing a Corporate Strategy that, once approved by the Board, becomes the basis for our activities during the year and in future periods.
