The Role

Do you have experience in student recruitment marketing and events with a track record of delivering innovative and successful outreach activities? Are you creative and highly motivated to deliver exceptional student recruitment activities? If so, this could be the role for you.

The Student Recruitment Marketing Manager (Outreach) leads the faculty-wide strategy and operational delivery of outreach events and student recruitment marketing activities to maximise the generation and conversion of high-quality students.

Reporting to the Head of Marketing and Communications (SAgE Faculty), the role offers a unique opportunity to shape plans for faculty outreach, collaborating with colleagues across the wider University.

Experience of leading and motivating a team is essential, as the role will involve line managing a small team of outreach colleagues in delivering student recruitment activities, ensuring that all outputs support university and faculty strategic objectives, and to measure and assess the impact of your approach.

The successful candidate will raise awareness of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects through the faculty's involvement at on campus and off campus events, including school and college visits, and the delivery of talks and workshops to students. You will maximise the generation and conversion of applicants to the faculty's degree programmes and to ensure the faculty meets its Widening Participation targets. Knowledge of the key issues influencing the Higher Education environment is highly advantageous.
