**About the Role**





We are seeking a Campaigns and Marketing Manager to join our External
Relations team to help directly deliver our mission through creative
storytelling and applied digital skills.





You will run a range of paid and organic communications and marketing
campaigns to support the promotion of, and recruitment to, our degree and
executive programmes.





You will be results-driven, using data and digital tools effectively to shape
campaigns and the storytelling you do about the extraordinary and innovative
work of the School and of the inspirational people in our global community.





This post is to cover the absence of the substantive postholder, who is taking
a period of maternity leave. The post is available until 30 June 2026 or the
actual return of the substantive postholder, or the resignation of the
substantive postholder and employment of a new postholder, whichever is the
earliest.





We hope the successful candidate can start in May 2025, or as soon as possible
thereafter.





**About You**





Equipped with relevant expertise, an interest in topical issues and a sharp
intellect, you have a proven track record of successful campaign development.





You will be well versed in the principles and practices of marketing and
communications, especially digital marketing, and will be able to apply these
flexibly and intelligently.





You will be a ‘doer’, a team player who can combine strategic and creative
thinking with the willingness and skills to undertake the full range of
required tasks yourself. Your ability to rapidly understand and translate
policy-related and intellectual content to our audiences will be critical, as
will your ability to draw on the exceptional networks and audience expertise
that exist across the School, working across teams and building collaborative
relationships.





Quick to learn, proactive and collaborative by instinct, you will have
excellent production skills, primarily in conversion copywriting and visual
assets.





**Application Process**





Please upload a supporting statement that outlines how you meet the selection
criteria in your own words, along with 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 3 February
2025.**





We anticipate that interviews will take place during week commencing 10
February 2025.
