Communications and Marketing Manager
We're looking for an ambitious and creative Communications and Marketing Manager to lead how we tell the story of the Students' Union.
This is an exciting opportunity to shape the communications strategy for one of the UK's largest Students' Unions, leading a talented team that sits within our Membership Services Directorate while working collaboratively across the whole organisation.
You'll be responsible for developing and delivering an ambitious communications and marketing strategy that brings our mission to life. Whether it's showcasing the impact of student representation, encouraging students to join a society, promoting our advice and support services, launching campaigns, celebrating student success or driving engagement with our social enterprises, you'll ensure our communications connect with students in meaningful and authentic ways.
As the lead manager for communications and marketing, you'll oversee our brand, campaigns, digital communications and content, ensuring every interaction reflects who we are and the value we create for students. You'll use insight and evaluation to continually improve how we engage our members, helping more students discover opportunities, influence change and feel part of our community.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll also play an important role across the organisation, partnering with colleagues, elected Officers and student leaders to provide expert communications advice and embed effective planning into major organisational projects.
We're looking for someone with experience of leading communications and marketing activity, developing successful campaigns and managing high-performing teams. You'll be an excellent communicator with strong strategic thinking, sound judgement and a passion for creating communications that genuinely make a difference.
If you're excited by the opportunity to shape the voice of an organisation that exists to improve the lives of 38,000 students, we'd love to hear from you.
