**About the Role**





As the Executive Programmes team at the Blavatnik School of Government
continues to grow, it has been restructured into three key pillars: Programme
Delivery, Fellowships and Visitors, and Outreach and Engagement. The Outreach
and Engagement function is central to driving the School’s global engagement
strategy and expanding its open enrolment executive programmes.





This expansion has created an exciting opportunity for a Outreach and
Engagement Officer to join the team. In this role, you will play a pivotal
part in building a strong pipeline of applicants, conducting research to
identify target audiences, and collaborating with the marketing team on
recruitment campaigns. You will thrive on working to targets, presenting to
senior leaders globally, and networking with diverse stakeholders. While not
necessarily from a traditional recruitment background, you have the initiative
and drive to achieve results in the executive education space.





**About You**





You have an undergraduate degree or equivalent work experience, with a proven
track record in recruitment or outreach role, with demonstrable ability to
identify, establish and maintain relationships across multiple stakeholder
groups on a global scale at a senior level. You are skilled at building
relationships across diverse groups and possess excellent written and verbal
communication skills, including the ability to create high-quality recruitment
materials and present to external audiences in person and virtually.





You are familiar with using CRM software to track business development
activities and have strong cultural awareness. Experience or interest in
working with the public sector or senior government officials is a plus. As a
proactive self-starter, you work well independently and collaborate
effectively with others.





**Application Process**





You will be required to upload a supporting statement, your CV and the details
of two referees as part of your online application.





The closing date for applications is **12 noon (UK time) on Monday 2 December
2024**.





Candidates may be contacted before the application deadline for a brief
preliminary conversation to talk about their candidacy. We encourage early
applications and advise not waiting until the closing date.





Interviews will take place during week commencing 9 December 2024 and will be
held in-person at the School.
