Research Marketing Manager

This is an exciting role within the School of Management. You will have significant creative freedom and a generous budget to market our research in new and daring ways. We’re looking for someone enthusiastic who will work well with our faculty to create and curate engaging content that showcases the breadth of our research.

The ideal candidate will have experience working in higher education, or have experience translating academic research into engaging text. You will be skilled in producing content across multiple platforms and media.

This role is based within the Research Office, but will work with many teams. In particular you will work closely with:

• our digital team, to manage our research web content
• our social media manager to work on social media campaigns.
• our press team, to help identify and then develop research stories.
• the Head of Research Operations and the Associate Dean Research to develop strategy to help in our ambitions to drive forward our international reputation.

You will also work with a large proportion of our faculty, from PhD students to Senior Professors, engaging with them on their research. You need to have exceptional interpersonal skills. You’ll also need to make presentations at Away Days, Senior Strategy meetings, and other events. Experience of (and confidence in) presenting is important.

You will join a growing team. Both the Research team and the marketing team are expanding, and it’s an exciting time to join the School. We have recently moved into an incredible new building, and are installing a digital studio which will allow us to produce more research content in house.

For an informal discussion about the role, please contact Amanda Willmott, Head of Research Operations, acw51@bath.ac.uk, however please ensure that you submit your application through the University website.
