Marketing Assistant – Professional and Open Access Courses

Oxford University Department for Continuing Education is seeking to appoint a
Marketing Assistant to promote its Professional and Open Access courses and
events (POAC) to diverse audiences in the UK and internationally. These
include one-day and weekend events, residential summer schools, full-time Pre-
Master’s courses, and professional development courses.





**About the role**



The role will involve supporting the Marketing Campaigns Manager, Marketing
and Communications Team and the POAC Team to achieve marketing and recruitment
objectives. This will involve contributing to the development and
implementation of innovative marketing campaigns across a range of media, to
include web communications, SEO, digital and traditional advertising and email
marketing campaigns.





You’ll be expected to use your own initiative in order to make significant
contributions to the process of developing effective marketing strategies for
POAC courses to meet recruitment targets. Using a range of analytics tools,
you’ll monitor and report on the effectiveness of marketing campaigns to
determine their return on investment to inform future campaigns. You’ll also
organise your time constructively to manage your own projects.





You will regularly review the quality, accuracy and timeliness of website
content, particularly where it relates to search engine optimisation and
keyword optimisation for Google Ads campaigns. You will also work
independently to achieve results and ensure that marketing campaigns are
delivered on time and on budget.





This is a full-time position, available on a permanent contract.

The role would ideally suit a recent graduate with some experience of a
marketing-related environment who is seeking to develop a career in marketing.
You should be able to demonstrate some relevant experience in a marketing, PR

take responsibility for creating, implementing and monitoring creative
marketing campaigns. This might include PPC, display advertising, digital
communications and other marketing activities as part of integrated marketing
communications.
