Job Description

Job Title: Global Student Story Manager

About WiSH (WhyiStudyHere.com)

A student platform promoting institutions from their perspective, uncovering the 'Living & Learning' experience. A light touch introduction into a student following their journey through College or University and beyond.

About the Role

It's all about the students and alumni. Do you have the ability to not just ask questions, but to build rapport, get them to open up, remember the best bits, tell you why they love where they study, tell you 'Why I Study Here'!

We want someone with creative content skills, people skills and a desire to get the best out of each student and/or alumni. Whether on a zoom call or on campus, face-to-face. And over a period of time from initial quote to what they do and where they end up years later.

Jump on a train or plane, work from a laptop, deal with time zones and understand many cultures.

Own the project and inject personal pride as we build and add staff, both here and abroad.

Note:

As you'll be partially remote when in the UK and very remote when on campus, professionalism, energy and enthusiasm are essential
