Senior Faculty Marketing and Communications Officer

Senior Faculty Marketing and Communications Officer We’re looking for a collaborative and well‑organised Senior Faculty Marketing and Communications Officer to help deliver impactful, joined‑up communications that support the Faculty’s priorities and enhance its reputation. Working within the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, you’ll join a small, dynamic marketing and communications team alongside an Assistant Director and a Manager. Each team member manages a portfolio of two Schools; for this role that includes the newly forming Schools of Psychological Science plus Neuropsychology, and the School of Biochemistry plus the School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine. You’ll play a key role in coordinating requests, aligning marketing activity with institutional strategy, and acting as a vital link between our Schools and the Division of Strategic Communications and Marketing. Whether it’s shaping internal messaging, promoting world‑class research, or supporting the development of creative campaigns, your work will ensure the right messages reach the right audiences in the right way. This is a varied and hands‑on role. One day you might be drafting an engaging staff newsletter, the next coordinating with divisional colleagues to plan and brief a bespoke recruitment campaign. You’ll work closely with School leadership to understand priorities and triage requests – deciding whether to deliver them yourself or brief into the wider strategic communications team. Typical projects might include launching new programmes, commissioning content to showcase research, and amplifying stories through media channels. Flexible Working We welcome applications from those seeking part‑time arrangements. While the role is ideally full‑time, we can consider a minimum of 0.9 FTE for individual applicants. A job share at 0.5 FTE each would also work well, allowing each partner to take responsibility for one School. Contract Details Contract type: Fixed‑term Contract concluding October 2026. Work pattern: Monday – Friday, 35 hours per week. Hybrid Working Arrangement: 3 days working from home (Monday, Tuesday, Friday) and 2 days on campus (Wednesday, Thursday).

Coordinate internal communications to ensure timely, relevant, and aligned messaging with institutional priorities.

Contribute to media engagement by identifying opportunities, tracking trends, and supporting content development. Collaborate with creative, digital, and internal teams to deliver effective, on‑brand campaigns and materials. Support campaign delivery and evaluation, provide administrative assistance, and maintain strong cross‑team relationships. What you’ll bring Strong experience in marketing and communications, with a track record of delivering effective content and campaigns in complex environments. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor messages for different audiences and channels. Highly organised and proactive, with the ability to manage competing priorities, coordinate activity, and keep projects on track.
