About us 

The Faculty of Social Sciences and Public Policy is seeking to recruit a Global Partnerships & Student Recruitment Manager. This is an 18-month FTC role that will provide a leading role supporting the delivery of international student recruitment and marketing activities for the faculty. 

The Faculty of Social Science and Public Policy at King’s is one of the largest UK university communities for social research and education. The faculty has a number of strategically important projects underway which are closely aligned with the broader King’s Vision 2029 agenda.

SSPP embraces equality, diversity and inclusion. We attract students and staff from across the world, from many different backgrounds, with a variety of ethnicities, religions, and sexual and gender identities. We promote flexible working as a key enabler of inclusion. We particularly encourage and welcome applications from women, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates, and from candidates who are LGBTQ+ and/or have a disability.

About the role

We are looking for a Global Partnerships & Student Recruitment Manager to implement the faculty’s student recruitment strategy, while ensuring a data-driven approach to optimising international student recruitment for SSPP.

Responsibilities will include conducting market analysis to assess key market trends, current demand, and identify unrealised market demand and build knowledge on the cost-effectiveness of different international initiatives. The role will represent SSPP at relevant recruitment and marketing events and will be responsible for developing, updating and delivering country/region-tailored presentations designed to effectively engage diverse audiences.

The role will represent the faculty at selected recruitment events and fairs and also work with the faculty colleagues to engage with and capitalise upon alumni and engagement activities.
