About the Role

Warwick Business School (WBS) is looking for an experienced digital marketer with significant knowledge of trends, platforms, tools and content strategy to lead our Digital Marketing team.

You will bring your passion and experience to help us extend and deepen reach and engagement with target audiences globally – supporting student recruitment, and brand and reputation building; ensuring this is audience-focused and sector-leading.

While your specific area of responsibility will be on all things digital – including social media, in-house film production, and web content – you’ll be part of the wider management team with Communications & Marketing. You and your team will also work collaboratively with colleagues across our Programme Marketing; Brand, Design and Communications; and Press and PR teams.

This role is essential in ensuring we achieve our ambitious targets, both short term and towards the 2030 strategy, and must be underpinned by extensive audience insight, technical knowledge, engaging content creation, and monitoring and evaluation.

You’ll have responsibility for a significant budget and for the setting and management of specific campaign budgets within this.

About You

To be considered for this role you’ll need to be able to demonstrate significant experience of:

Devising and delivering digital communications strategies which help build reputation and positive sentiment
Managing and motivating a high performing team within a large, complex organisation and driving a digital-first approach
Planning and delivering effective multi-audience campaigns, including the creation of objectives, audience insight mapping and segmentation, channel and media selection, and the creation of clear metrics and means to evaluate activity
Content creation which delivers increased engagement and /or audience growth on owned channels and external platforms.
Experience of crisis communications and pro-actively managing responses via social media.

You’ll also be able to think creatively and to thrive in a fast-paced environment. Although assigned to a particular area, it is essential to work in an integrated way in order to spot and maximise opportunities to grow the WBS brand and achieve engagement and conversions.

Does this sound like you? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

About the Department

Warwick Business School (WBS) is a world-class business school at the heart of a world-class University, challenging assumptions and championing business as a force for good. From the pioneering research we undertake, to the students we help to shape, we are for the Change Makers who will impact the world for the better.

We were the first UK business school to be triple accredited by the major bodies (EQUIS, AMBA, AACSB) and our courses consistently rank highly – view all of our rankings here.

However, we’re more than our rankings and we’re proud to be different. We’re down to earth and approachable, and we want WBS to feel like home to our students, our staff and our alumni community. We look to provide a stimulating and fulfilling work environment for all. One where you will feel supported and encouraged to grow professionally; developing your knowledge, skills, confidence and career.

Our vision

Our vision is to be Europe’s leading University-based business school, developing transformational ideas and people that shape how we do business. This vision is supported by our three-fold mission:

To develop cutting-edge research that leads debate and deepens our understanding of the practice of business and management
To provide a transformational learning experience, enabling our stakeholders to realise their full potential
To work in partnership with policy and practice, both in terms of our research and teaching activities, to catalyse the impact of our work.

Everything we do is underpinned by our CORE values and driven by a commitment to a Change Maker mindset. We look for this shared commitment across our staff and student community.

Change Makers see the bigger picture. Thinking beyond themselves and their environment, they’re open to other viewpoints and consider the ripple effect of what they do on a personal, social, and commercial level. They’re driven by having the biggest positive impact and a focus on the greater good.
Change Makers challenge the norm. Challenging the status quo and not just accepting things at face value is when real impact and change can be delivered.
Change Makers have the drive as well as the vision. It’s one thing having a vision but having the drive and work ethic to realise a vision is another matter. Change Makers relentlessly pursue every possible solution in order to achieve their goals.

Our CORE values

We challenge, we embrace different perspectives, and we think creatively to build our future.
We’re open to different perspectives, talking to stakeholders, listening to feedback, embracing change and pushing forward for the better.
We’re not satisfied with standing still, and never stop looking for ways to improve. Constantly evaluating, we don’t stop when we’ve achieved one thing; we use all of our initiative, drive and resourcefulness to achieve more.
At a world class university and a globally recognised business school, excellence is a given. There are no half measures at WBS.

About the University

You'll be joining a diverse, innovative and globally connected community committed to igniting real world progress. Here at Warwick, we offer you opportunities to follow your ambitions as long as you bring the energy and determination to succeed.
