Senior Copywriter - #1723479

This role is part-time for 21 hours per week and will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner.   We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Do you believe in the power of education to make a positive difference? Here at Leeds we’ve been helping people to make the right choices about their education, helping them enhance the experience, increase their performance, and live their brands.  

The University of Leeds is one of the top 80 universities in the world.  We have a truly global community, with more than 39,000 students from 170 different countries and over 9,000 staff of 100 different nationalities.  Established in 1904, we have a strong tradition of academic excellence, reflected in first-class student education, along with world-leading research that has a real impact around the globe. 

Here we care about what we do, we put the ‘customer’ needs at the heart of our marketing using market data and user insights to develop effective marketing strategies and plans.  You will be part of a team that drives forward change, helping move the University of Leeds into a dynamic, proactive position in terms of being able to respond to the market and deliver on the institution’s strategy. This means you’ll be keen to work in new ways, challenge existing processes, seek and deliver solutions, and influence others to do things differently.  

Our team is based in the University in Leeds.  This is a hybrid part-time role but as a team we commit to coming into the office a minimum of two days a week to promote collaboration and team working...and to enjoy biscuits and chat.  Given our focus on potential learners we also pull together as a team on major events such as open days and clearing, which means there will be a requirement for occasional weekend and/or evening working. 

So if you have experience of leading successful content teams, are collaborative, curious and want to make a difference then we’d love to hear from you.
