Campaigns and Marketing Manager (Maternity Cover)

Location: Blavatnik School of Government, Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 6GG 

About the Blavatnik School of Government 

Our vision is of a world better led, a world better served and a world better governed. We are a global school committed to improving the quality of government and public policymaking worldwide, through three routes: teaching current and future leaders; generating research with impact; and engaging with governments and practitioners. 

About the Role 

We are seeking a Campaigns and Marketing Manager to join our External Relations team to help directly deliver our mission through creative storytelling and applied digital skills. 

You will run a range of paid and organic communications and marketing campaigns to support the promotion of, and recruitment to, our degree and executive programmes. 

You will be results-driven, using data and digital tools effectively to shape campaigns and the storytelling you do about the extraordinary and innovative work of the School and of the inspirational people in our global community. 

This post is to cover the absence of the substantive postholder, who is taking a period of maternity leave. The post is available until 30 June 2026 or the actual return of the substantive postholder, or the resignation of the substantive postholder and employment of a new postholder, whichever is the earliest. 

We hope the successful candidate can start in May 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter. 

About You 

Equipped with relevant expertise, an interest in topical issues and a sharp intellect, you have a proven track record of successful campaign development. 

You will be well versed in the principles and practices of marketing and communications, especially digital marketing, and will be able to apply these flexibly and intelligently. 

You will be a ‘doer’, a team player who can combine strategic and creative thinking with the willingness and skills to undertake the full range of required tasks yourself. Your ability to rapidly understand and translate policy-related and intellectual content to our audiences will be critical, as will your ability to draw on the exceptional networks and audience expertise that exist across the School, working across teams and building collaborative relationships. 

Quick to learn, proactive and collaborative by instinct, you will have excellent production skills, primarily in conversion copywriting and visual assets. 

Application Process 

Please upload a supporting statement that outlines how you meet the selection criteria in your own words, along with your CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application. 

The closing date for applications is 12 noon (UK time) on Monday 3 February 2025. 

We anticipate that interviews will take place during week commencing 12 February 2025.
