An exciting opportunity has arisen, for a self- motivated, hardworking, and experienced professional to join our team of sector specialist career coaches. They will operate across Lancaster University Management School with a focus on the marketing profession and related sectors.
This role will be crucial to the work of LUMS Careers, providing bespoke coaching and careers education to undergraduates, postgraduates, and alumni who aspire to develop careers within marketing, advertising, communications, and management, within agency environments and client side.

You will have an engaging and effective professional approach, with confidence in your ability to develop your network across the sector.

We are located in a beautiful part of North West England with great facilities and a warm and welcoming community. We offer many benefits including an excellent pension scheme.
