This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated, experienced digital marketing professional to join Lancaster University’s Marketing Team for one year to cover maternity leave. A team player, you should have excellent communications skills, the ability to build relationships with stakeholders and the confidence to work with multiple personalities with competing requirements.
Reporting to the Faculty of Science and Technology Communication and Marketing Manager, this role supports the Faculty’s recruitment and marketing plans by creating high quality digital content, engaging and compelling written content and liaising with our media buying agency to plan and deliver advertising campaigns.
