QAA is the UK’s independent quality body for tertiary education. Our purpose is to ensure that students and learners experience the highest possible quality of education.

We are the UK’s authority on quality and standards, acting as custodian on behalf of the sector of reference points including the UK Quality Code for Higher Education, Subject Benchmark Statements, and the Frameworks for Higher Education Qualifications.

We work with governments, funding bodies and education providers across the UK and internationally to support and enhance quality and standards. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, we work collaboratively with the sector to meet the needs of each nation. In England, our membership programme provides resources and support to strategic leads, quality specialists and students and learners alike.

Internationally, we are recognised as one of the world's leading quality bodies, supporting the reputation and reach of UK tertiary education through global partnerships and transnational education.

As Marketing and Communications Officer, you will help deliver engaging marketing and communications activity across QAA’s digital channels. You will create and publish content across email, social media and our websites, and plan and send targeted email campaigns through our CRM system. You’ll support campaigns that promote QAA’s products, services, events and publications, working closely with colleagues across the team – including day-to-day social media community management and promoting our events programme through our channels.

You will also use audience insight and performance information to help improve our communications and work closely with colleagues across QAA to deliver effective, consistent and accessible content.

You will be one of two Marketing and Communications Officers, working closely together and sharing campaign delivery.

You will have experience working in marketing or communications, with hands-on experience creating and publishing digital content across a range of channels. You will have strong copywriting skills and experience using social media, email marketing and content management systems, with an understanding of SEO and web analytics. Experience using a CRM system (Salesforce desirable) to build and send email campaigns would be an advantage.

You will be creative, organised and attentive to detail, with the ability to manage competing priorities, work collaboratively and tailor communications for different audiences.

We are a UK based remote first agency built on trust and flexibility, where we focus on outcomes rather than location. This supports strong delivery, collaboration and colleague wellbeing.

While most work is carried out remotely, there are occasional opportunities to come together in person for collaboration, engagement or specific activities where this adds value.

QAA is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and values the contribution that people from different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives bring.

We aim to create an environment where everyone feels respected, able to be themselves and supported to contribute and achieve their best. No matter what their identity or background.

We are committed to ensuring an accessible and fair recruitment process. If you require any reasonable adjustments to participate in any part of the recruitment process, please contact us at  so we can support your needs.
