Job description

The Regional Marketing Specialist - UK/I & ANZHK plays a key role in executing integrated marketing initiatives that drive customer engagement, retention, and revenue expansion across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong for our portfolio of integrity and assessment solutions. Reporting to the Sr. Manager, Regional Marketing, this role works in collaboration with global marketing, sales, customer experience and product teams. Responsibilities include supporting marketing strategy development, localizing campaigns, managing third-party partnerships, and ensuring high-quality, market-relevant execution across both regions. The ideal candidate has a strong understanding of the higher education landscape in the UK/I and ANZHK regions, solid hands-on marketing execution skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities across two culturally distinct regions. This role requires regular collaboration across the UK and Australia time zones. The ideal candidate will be based in the UK and must be able to flex their weekly schedule to support both regions. Specifically, the role requires two days per week with at least 50% overlap (a minimum of four working hours) with standard Australia (AEDT) business hours to enable real-time collaboration with ANZ colleagues and partners. The remaining hours on those days will be dedicated to progressing ANZHK-focused marketing projects. The other three days per week will align to UK working hours and focus on UKI priorities, along with any additional ANZHK tasks as needed.
