We have ambitious plans at the University of Reading. Already ranked in the top 1% of global universities; our world class research and outstanding teaching is reflected by thousands of successful alumni around the world.
Having launched our first overseas campus in Malaysia, and with new investment, we’re getting ready to unveil our new UK and international growth strategy. As we embark on this significant change programme, we’re creating a new leadership team and are looking for three heavyweight communicators to help us transform as we continue to compete in the global market.
This is a ‘clean sheet’ opportunity for you to influence and help shape us, and to lead and deliver great work. We’re casting our net far and wide. It’s your passion that will shine, not your current sector.
Leading the strategic and operational delivery of marketing activity, you will define and drive our brand, tailoring messaging and developing campaigns. Leading the digital and design teams, and building a new marketing team, you will provide direction across the University to support brand position and student recruitment.
A highly experienced marketer, expert at delivering messages to a range of markets, you will be passionate about excellent marketing communications and have creative ideas for how our brand can be developed to increase awareness and support market penetration. You will have already held a senior role and be used to managing multiple clients. With a proven track record of strategy development and technical experience, you will be ready to hit the ground running.
