The Role and the Department

We are seeking a skilled, creative and experienced Communications Co-ordinator who can provide excellent communications and events support to the delivery programmes within the SCENE programme and work with the programme team to support the commercialisation eco-system with a programme of excellent internal communications activity. The postholder will work closely with the Northern Accelerator Communications Manager and Partnership managers to ensure a seamless communications effort within the University partnership and with our key partners and strategic stakeholders.

The main duties of the post will be:

  • Working with the Head of Regional programmes, Programme Manager and other team members, design and ensure a strong and visible communications and events plan to support the effective delivery of the workstreams and key projects set out in the SCENE programme.
  • Co-ordinate internal communications activity between the University partners and the wider network of Strategic partners to underpin the success of the commercialisation eco-system.
  • Work closely with the Communications manager and wider network of Communications staff to ensure that there are complementary communication activities across the SCENE programme, Northern Accelerator, the Commercialisation and Spin Out Fund, and any other projects which re-enforce their brands and demonstrate the collaboration between North East universities.
  • Provide support, advice, information, presentations and guidance to University staff regarding the communications activities within the project, including ensuring compliance with the expectations of partners and funders with respect of use of logos and other corporate or programme identities and to be the focal point for communications across the University and strategic partners.
  • Monitor communications activities against a key set of metrics and make proposals for improvement
