Student Recruitment Content Coordinator

The opportunity

Are you a creative marketer who loves telling stories that connect and inspire others? We are looking for a Student Recruitment Content Coordinator to produce engaging content that speaks directly to prospective UAL students.

Working across a variety of platforms, including the UAL website, social media and print, you will be responsible for planning and creating compelling marketing materials that promote our courses. This includes everything from writing student stories to producing videos, designing infographics, and developing digital marketing assets — with a particular focus on pre-degree courses run by the UAL School of Pre-degree Studies. You will also design both printed and digital collateral for recruitment and marketing events, including posters, flyers, accessible PDFs and banners.

Collaboration is a key aspect of this role, as you will work closely with colleagues across Student Marketing, Recruitment and Admissions, as well as with teams within the UAL School of Pre-degree Studies and other departments. Drawing on your project management skills and design expertise, you will lead or support cross-team content projects.

This is an exciting opportunity to make your mark in this new role as a key member of UAL’s content and marketing team, helping to shape the way UAL connects with its future students.

Your profile

To succeed in this role, you will need a degree in Graphic Design, Marketing, Communication, Journalism or a related field (or have equivalent professional experience).

You will need previous experience of managing creative marketing projects, developing content for digital platforms, and designing print and digital materials that align with brand guidelines.

Strong working knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite, particularly InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects is essential, along with developing video content.
