You'll get the chance to work on activity in ground-breaking new facilities, such as the Edinburgh Futures Institute building, where an important city centre location will become a new environment for teaching, research and innovation, with national impact.

The University's alumni are one of its most important stakeholders and you'll help us to build strong relationships with them across a range of channels, tailoring our messages to meet their needs and helping them stay connected to the University and all that we have to offer.

You'll need to be a confident and experienced influence, able to work at all levels and build professional networks that can support you to deliver on your goals. We're looking for someone data driven, experienced in producing reports and who can work effectively in a team or by themselves.

Your work will contribute to the work of the University of Edinburgh and its mission to make the world a better place. If you want to join us in helping make that happen and think that you have the skills and experience to excel, then please get in touch.
