ABOUT THE POST

London Metropolitan University is looking for an experienced and ambitious Regional Manager (South Asia) to lead student recruitment across one of our most strategically important regions.

This is a high-impact role responsible for delivering ambitious enrolment targets, expanding our regional presence, and developing strategic partnerships across South Asia. Acting as the University’s senior representative in the region, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our international growth in these key recruitment markets.

WHAT WILL YOU DO

In this role, you will lead the development and delivery of regional recruitment plans, driving Undergraduate and Postgraduate recruitment through a mix of in-country activity, strategic partnerships, and targeted conversion campaigns. You’ll take an evidence-led approach to identifying new markets and opportunities, using data and insight to inform business planning and growth strategies.

A key part of the role involves managing and developing a network of agents, partners, and feeder institutions across the region, as well as overseeing the University’s South Asia office and supporting in-country staff. You will represent London Met at events, exhibitions, and partner engagements, helping to build our reputation and visibility in a highly competitive market.

Working closely with colleagues across Admissions, Marketing, Compliance, and Academic Schools, you will ensure a joined-up and effective approach to international recruitment. You will also monitor performance, report on outcomes, and provide market intelligence to support wider institutional strategy.

ABOUT YOU

You will bring significant experience in international student recruitment within Higher Education, with strong knowledge of South Asia and a proven track record of achieving targets. You are confident working in complex, fast-paced environments and are skilled at building relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, from agents and partners to internal teams.

You’ll be both strategic and hands-on, comfortable developing regional plans while also delivering activity on the ground. Strong analytical skills are essential, alongside the ability to translate insight into action. Experience managing staff or overseas operations will be important, as will your ability to represent the University with credibility and impact on the global stage.
