As a key member of our Student Marketing, Recruitment and Admissions department, you will play an integral role in achieving our student recruitment targets across both domestic and international markets, ensuring every prospective student's journey is engaging, inclusive and inspiring.

Working closely with the Marketing Manager and your colleagues from across the department, you will develop, implement and evaluate marketing campaigns that combine digital and traditional techniques to meet annual objectives and to support the University's long-term strategy.

Your work will involve planning and delivering marketing campaigns that spans digital advertising, outdoor media and third-party communications, designed to attract students at foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate levels from the UK, EU and beyond.

Join us in this exciting role and make a tangible impact on UAL's reputation and reach, helping to connect the University's creative community with talented students from around the world.

We advertise the whole salary range but candidates are expected to start at the beginning of that range. Progression through the range is possible through annual increments.
