Marketing Executive United Kingdom
Job description
Full-time, fixed-term contract until 30 June 2024 (to cover a secondment within the team).
Marketing at Warwick will test, excite, and reward you in countless ways and is made up of many rewarding moments. If you’re a marketing all-rounder, as creative as you are productive, we’d love you to join our ambitious department as a respected Marketing Executive. It’s a place where you can create your own rewarding moments.
A key member of our Marketing and Communications team, you’ll work across a portfolio of academic departments, undertaking a wide range of tactical marketing and communications activities supporting the University’s recruitment objectives. You’ll make decisions based on insight but have the creative ability to translate data into compelling collateral. You’ll provide a professional marketing delivery service to academic departments on prospective and current student communications and work on a wide variety of marketing communications projects including CRM, events, photography, videos, blogs, brochures and websites. It’s a fast-paced role which often requires you to work independently – however, your wider Marketing team would always be on hand for support, advice and work with you to deliver on behalf of your departments. You’d also be part of a growing Marketing and Communications department, comprising talented individuals with diverse expertise and experience, so you are truly part of a supportive team.
It's important you’re an excellent communicator as you’ll work closely with external agencies and internal departments, managing the production of materials and digital content but you’ll also manage the relationships with our student bloggers generating content to support student recruitment. You’ll work with both the Customer Relationship Management team supporting the delivery of CRM activity and the Market Research and Insight Team developing an understanding of markets and competitors, using this work to develop strong messaging and content for programmes of study.
You will have previously worked in a Marketing team and experience within an education or skills context will be a bonus. We’re looking for a creative thinker who has excellent organisational skills, is great at multi-tasking and enjoys working in a team.
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
