About us:

The Events Team within the Global Student Recruitment & Admissions Directorate plays a key role in bringing the King’s experience to life at every stage of the prospective student journey. 

About the role: 

We’re looking for an Events Marketing Officer who will play a key part in helping prospective students discover what King’s College London can offer. This is a chance to join a friendly and motivated Events Team where your work will have a direct impact on how thousands of prospective students experience King’s for the first time.

In this role you’ll play an active part in planning and delivering a wide range of events both on campus & online, such as open days, offer holder events, information sessions and campus tours. The role involves regular communication with prospective students and a variety of stakeholders to make sure they have clear and timely information about each event. You’ll also help create engaging event materials such as signage, merchandise, content and other assets that bring the King’s experience to life.

You’ll build good relationships with internal teams and external partners, reporting directly to the Events Manager while working closely with the Head of Events.

You’ll also have the chance to shape how our events evolve. By gathering feedback & producing evaluation reports, you’ll spot opportunities to make future events even better. Your ideas will contribute to our event strategy that help us connect with students and create memorable experiences.

You will occasionally be required to work outside standard hours (9am-5pm), including early mornings, evenings & weekends, to support event delivery. You may also be required to represent King’s at activities across the UK & overseas.
