Job description

About LIS

The challenges humanity faces today are not distant concerns from dystopian novels or hypothetical scenarios in textbooks. They are real, pressing, and profoundly complex.

Unfortunately, the traditional higher education system has not evolved to address this reality. By operating in disciplinary silos, it leaves graduates ill-equipped to navigate and address the interwoven challenges of the 21st century.

At The London Interdisciplinary School (LIS), we’re rethinking higher education from the ground up. We equip students with an interdisciplinary toolkit designed to confront the intricate problems shaping our world—problems that don’t adhere to neat academic boundaries.

With a world-class faculty, five pioneering cohorts, and partnerships with global organisations, LIS is more than a university. It’s a movement. A place where bold thinkers can learn how to shape the world, not just fit in.

As the first UK educational institution in 50 years to be granted full degree-awarding powers since inception, we are redefining what higher education can be. From our innovative Bachelor's, Master's and MBA to our professional development programmes, LIS represents a ground-breaking approach to education designed for those ready to tackle the complexity of tomorrow, today.

About The Role

Part of the Marketing, Recruitment, and Admissions (MRA) team, this is an exciting opportunity to shape how we engage with potential students via both in-person and online events.

Working closely across the department and wider institution, you will be responsible for organising high quality and innovative Marketing and Recruitment events across our unique portfolio of Bachelor’s, Master’s, and professional programmes. You will own engagement with event attendees - both before and after an event - to maximise attendance, engagement, and experience.

Reporting directly to the Head of Recruitment and Admissions, the skills you will develop in this role include managing email sends, organising data in our CRM system, stakeholder management, event management and much more. You'll also be able to directly contribute to both our events and wider marketing strategies. This role also offers a great step into the life of start ups and higher education.

Key Responsibilities

• Organising marketing events - both online and in-person - to increase the visibility of the LIS brand and offering
• Organising recruitment events - both online and in-person - to increase the conversion of leads to applications, offer holders to enrolled students
• Collaborating closely with the wider MRA team, faculty, senior leadership, and student ambassadors to develop event content and organise logistics
• Help develop and test different formats of events to maximise impact
• Ownership of pre-event communications to maximise registration to attendance rates
• Ownership of post-event communications to maximise impact of event and drive conversion through the Recruitment and Admissions pipeline
• Contribute to the wider MRA strategy to help build our cohorts of curious and diverse interdisciplinary problem solvers
• Contribute to the overall development of LIS as a start-up institution
  
  

Requirements

Full training will be provided and prior experience is not necessarily a requirement to be successful in this role. We are looking for:

• A curious mindset, eager to learn and develop in this space
• Highly organised and able to manage competing demands and multiple events
• A strong communicator, with both internal and external stakeholders
• Strong stakeholder management skills, able to positively engage with colleagues of all levels
  
  

It is not required but would be advantageous to have:

• Prior events management experience
• Knowledge of the UK higher education sector
• Experience of using Zoom as an events organiser
• Experience with HubSpot
  
  

Benefits

• Salary - £31k - £33k
• Hybrid working with at least 2 days a week on campus
• 30 days of paid leave annually (plus bank holidays)
• Monthly fitness contribution and, on successful completion of your probationary period, company-sponsored health plan
• Annual personal development contribution for external training/coaching
• The opportunity to join a mission-led, fast-growing organisation that is changing higher education
