Student Communications and Engagement Manager

Location: Leeds - Main Campus

Contract type: Ongoing

Interviews will take place between 17^th and 28^th November 2025.

This role will be based on the university campus with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Are you a creative and driven communicator? Do you want to develop campaigns to help deliver an outstanding student experience? Are you ready to shape how students connect with life at one of the UK’s leading universities?

From welcome and graduation to campaigns that champion belonging, wellbeing and success, you’ll play a key role in delivering high-impact communications that keep students informed, inspired and involved.

Working closely with colleagues across our Student Education and Experience portfolio, you’ll help shape campaigns, content and messaging that reach more than 43,000 students from 140 countries. You’ll bring insight and a strong understanding of the student journey, helping us foster a sense of belonging and community across everything we do.

This is a role for someone who is strategic, collaborative and hands-on – equally comfortable planning multichannel campaigns as writing engaging content, supporting internal stakeholders, and delivering day-to-day communications that reflect the diversity and voice of our student body.

You’ll combine strategic planning and delivery oversight with insight-led decision-making and strong collaboration to deliver campaigns and content that champion student voice and truly connect.
