We have an exciting opportunity for a
Marketing Officer to join the University award-winning and
ambitious Marketing, Communications and Student Recruitment
department. Reporting to the Marketing Manager (Distance
Learning), the Marketing Officer will play a key role in the
planning, development, delivery and evaluation of high impact
marketing campaigns and recruitment activity that support the
University Distance Learning recruitment strategy and
targets.



This varied role involves working across
multiple channels and media, with a strong focus on
student-centred marketing communications. You will contribute to
the development and management of recruitment campaigns that
maximise engagement and drive traffic to our Distance Learning
web pages; develop customer journeys that integrate with the
University CRM system; work with colleagues to produce
compelling, high performing content; and monitor and report on
marketing performance to inform future activity.



You will work closely with colleagues
across Marketing, Communications and Student Recruitment and
build strong relationships with the Distance Learning Unit, which
leads the strategic development of our online course portfolio at
the University of Huddersfield.



This is a fantastic opportunity for a
results-driven marketing professional to make an impact in a
professional and supportive environment. As Marketing Officer,
you will have a degree or equivalent education in a Marketing or
related subject and experience of creating content specifically
to increase engagement with target audiences. You will have an
understanding of customer journeys, segmentation and personas and
excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Due to the
nature of the role, there may be a requirement to work occasional
weekends and evenings.



We offer an excellent employment package
including hybrid working, blending a mix of remote and on-campus
working (dependent on work duties).



The University is deeply committed to
equality and diversity for all its students and staff. We seek
to be diverse and inclusive, supporting individuals and groups to
fulfil their potential and nurture a sense of belonging. We
strive to be an accessible, inclusive employer, removing barriers
for all. Find out more about our approach to
