The opportunity
University of the Arts London (UAL) is seeking a motivated and talented Communications Executive (Social media and content) to join our dynamic communications team. Reporting to the Communications Manager, you will play a crucial role in enhancing UAL’s reputation and global impact through content creation and overseeing the University’s social media channels.
You will use your expertise in filming and editing to create video and audio for a range of social media platforms. Your experience of project management will enable you to plan this content, and evaluate success against agreed metrics, and share this information around the University, using it to inform future campaigns.

The post sits within the University’s recently formed Social Purpose Group. The group brings together communications, the new Social Purpose Lab, fundraising and UAL’s recently launched Storytelling Institute. Together, the group will enable UAL to change and shape the world for the better.
The communications department is a collaborative, creative and inclusive team who understand the role of communications in championing the transformative power of creative education. We speak on behalf of the creative industries across all platforms and cultivate relationships with some of the country’s leading experts and opinion formers.
The communications team has a vital role to play. We want to bring high quality education to more students than ever before and give our students the education they need to flourish in a changing world.
About you
We are looking for a candidate who thrives on shaping narratives that captivate audiences across various social platforms – a dynamic individual with experience of curating compelling video and audio content tailored for diverse social media landscapes. Your understanding of the needs of different audiences sets you apart. You will have managed and monitored social media accounts but also collaborated with stakeholders, unearthing captivating stories waiting to be shared with the world.
