The Conversation is looking for a confident, highly organised, self-starting people person to become our University Relations Manager, responsible for managing day to day relations with our partner organisations, fielding enquiries, ensuring the take-up of member benefits, and maintaining and deepening those relationships.
The company
The Conversation is a news analysis and comment website where content is written by academic experts working with professional journalists who ensure that the pieces of timely expert analysis are comprehensible to a broad, international, non-specialist audience. The Conversation helps ensure that the research knowledge and expertise within universities is shared widely beyond the sector so that the public can learn from the latest insights into the important topics of the day.
The Conversation is a charity and membership organisation, funded largely by its university members with some funding from grants and from reader donations. We operate as a not-for-profit, with content freely available to all, and through publishing under Creative Commons licence, it is free also for other media to republish. Our aim is to ensure better understanding of current affairs and complex issues by publishing explanatory journalism. Our global site attracts around 22 million readers a month, and our work is widely cited.
The role
The Conversation’s UK edition is based in London but has staff working remotely across the country. Reporting to the Director of Operations, the role entails working with our 90+ university partners to manage and nurture those relationships, answering their queries, understanding their needs and strategies, finding out what they value most, and identifying how we can help them achieve their goals. The role requires keeping an eye on day to day tasks, while having sight of longer term goals and offering ideas and input on how we might improve our offer to members and add value to our relationships.
Salary from £30,000 p.a., with generous employer pension contributions, 25 days paid holiday, and flexible working options. We welcome applicants with experience working in universities or the higher education sector, or those with account management, membership management or community management experience.
