About you

We are looking for a dedicated and pro-active team member who is adept at communicating effectively and has knowledge of the media landscape.

You will be able to demonstrate: 

• Experience of evaluating media and analysing data to improve impact
• Experience of planning and prioritising work to achieve objectives and projects on time
• Experience in raising potential reputational risks
• Skill in writing and proofreading content for press materials

Supporting close colleagues as well as those across the University, you must be able to collaborate effectively with various teams across diverse professional disciplines.
