Marketing Manager; Research and Enterprise

Overview

Join our friendly Research and Enterprise Marketing team and play a critical role in delivering the university’s research and enterprise strategic plans.

We need someone who enjoys turning their hand to a variety of projects. Working as part of a small team you’ll contribute to a range of collaborations to enhance our reputation. You’ll be working to improve brand perception with core audiences, increase income, and enhance the understanding of new knowledge which is making a real difference to the world.

Collaborating with senior leaders and academics, you’ll get under the skin of a wide variety of projects, understand their target markets, and develop compelling and competitive propositions for them. To deliver plans, you’ll engage with a network of specialist experts in commercial, digital and communications teams to meet our ambitious targets.

You’ll bring experience of planning and implementing marketing operations and the ability to do so in a large and complex organisation. Your skills in developing plans based on data and insight will underpin your creativity in designing innovative solutions. Adept at relationship‑building, you’ll be able to work proactively with academic and professional service stakeholders and across a network of internal and external teams to effectively deliver marketing plans.

A background in higher education is not essential and we welcome applications from those who have gained their marketing experience in the commercial sector.

We support a flexible approach to work and welcome hybrid working. With an understanding that there is a need to be on campus or visiting local business as part of the role.

We have a range of benefits to make your life easier. In addition to a generous holiday allowance you will receive additional university closure days at Easter and Christmas. As staff you would be eligible for reduced fees at our on campus Early Years Centre, which provides quality childcare from birth to five years. Your long‑term future would be supported with access to the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), subsidised health and fitness facilities and a range of discounts.
