Do you love content? Are you obsessed with great storytelling? Join the University of East London’s award-winning, high-energy marketing team and help shape the narrative of a university on the rise.

About Us: At UEL, we’re on a mission to transform lives through education, supporting our vibrant and diverse student community and building a future-facing institution rooted in innovation and inclusion. Our External Relations Directorate brings together a range of specialist teams—communications, marketing, student recruitment, digital, and more—all working together to drive our Vision 2028 forward.

Our dynamic, award-winning External Relations Directorate is a creative, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same. You’ll be at the heart of crafting standout campaigns, creating fresh content across platforms (social / print / digital), and bringing the UEL brand to life for thousands of future students.

About The Role: Here’s what you’ll be doing:

1. Leading on core marketing publications like prospectuses and print collateral.
2. Creating compelling content for social media, web, and email campaigns.
3. Shaping engaging video, visual, and written content to support recruitment and brand awareness.
4. Managing projects from planning to delivery – on time, on brand, and on point.
5. Collaborating with in-house teams and external creatives and agencies to produce work that turns heads.

We want someone who’s strategic, organised, and overflowing with creative energy. Someone who can work in a large team but who can also deliver content projects individually. You’ll need strong editorial instincts, a passion for audience insight, and a genuine love for smart, effective storytelling.

About You: We’re looking for a Content Marketing Executive who knows how to grab attention, spark curiosity, and create diverse content that truly connects to our key audiences.

You’ll Fit Right In If You:

• Have proven experience in content marketing and campaign delivery.
• Are a digital native with a sharp sense of what works online, what's currently trending and where our audiences can be found.
• Know how to write, plan, and create content that informs and inspires.
• Love collaboration but can take the lead when needed.
• Bring energy, ideas, and attention to detail to everything you do.

Sound like your kind of gig? We’d love to hear from you.
