Are you a highly-motivated individual passionate about delivering events and marketing activities? We are looking for an experienced Marketing and Events Coordinator to join Graduate Admissions and Recruitment to support us with our activities that are aimed at encouraging students from all backgrounds who have outstanding academic potential to consider graduate study at Oxford.

About Us

Spanning the historic streets of the "city of dreaming spires," the University of Oxford has been ranked the world's leading university for nine consecutive years. A place where centuries of tradition meet world-changing innovation, we offer you the chance to shape the future while working in an inspiring environment that promotes excellence.

Oxford has over 13,000 graduate students, representing more than 50% of the full-time student population. Almost two thirds of our graduate students are from outside the UK, and are drawn from some 140 countries worldwide, demonstrating the highly international character and global reach of Oxford. This is an important role that supports a range of marketing activities including delivery of online and in-person events to attract postgraduates to apply to the University of Oxford.

One of the most generous family leave schemes in UK higher education, offering up to 26 weeks of full-pay maternity and adoption leave, plus 12 weeks of full-pay paternity/partner leave.

A commitment to hybrid and flexible working to suit your lifestyle.

You will provide a high level of customer service and provide administrative support for the team including organisation of meetings and assisting with monitoring the graduate student recruitment budget. The post-holder will also be able to use their marketing experience, or broaden and develop it, working in a strategically important area of the University.

About You

This post is an exciting opportunity for someone with excellent event/project planning and organisation skills with the ability to remain calm under pressure.
