Technology continues to revolutionise the way we learn. The University of Manchester is committed to driving access and social mobility through a growing portfolio of flexible learning delivered online, and through blended and transnational education. We have our own dedicated teams in Manchester, Dubai, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore, and we partner with strategic universities worldwide to combine our expertise, deliver impact, and make a difference locally, nationally and internationally.

As one of the first civic universities in the UK, equality and diversity is part of who we are and what we do. Through our ambitious expansion in flexible and transnational education, we will enable transformative learning regardless of place, pace and pathway. Our high-quality education is designed to meet world challenges and employability goals, ensuring our students and organisational partners benefit from the best teaching, learning and technological advances in a way that is engaging, enriching, and impactful.

The Course Advisor (Student Marketing and Recruitment) will be the first point of contact for all enquiries relating to online and blended learning, positively shaping prospective students’ experience from day one. You will guide individual learners and corporate sponsors through the range of flexible learning options available at the University of Manchester, enabling the best course match to be identified to meet their personal and professional needs.

With your excellent written and verbal communication skills, you will encourage and proactively nurture qualified prospective students to apply, and will engage with them at all stages through to enrolment, offering guidance and support and making them feel part of our global community. The ideal candidate will be highly motivated with exceptional listening skills, demonstrating confidence at organising and presenting online events, balancing the demands of multiple prospective students whilst offering a first-class service. You’ll demonstrate tenacity, working to commercial targets and will draw on your experience to develop and implement recruitment and conversion campaigns. Passionate about education, you’ll want to help people reach their learning goals so they can make a difference and succeed in the world.

This is an exciting time to join the University of Manchester, drive our flexible learning and transnational education agenda and make a difference! The position is tenable immediately.

As an equal opportunities employer, we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons and all appointments will be made on merit. As we are committed to the principles of the Race Equality Charter Mark, we would particularly welcome applications from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community who are currently under-represented at this level in this area.
