Our Marketing and Communications team plays a vital role in connecting future students with everything UCL has to offer. As we continue to evolve our digital engagement and CRM capability, we're looking for an experienced CRM Marketing Manager to help shape personalised, data-driven communications that enhance every stage of the prospective student journey.

About the role

You'll play an important role in the ongoing development of our CRM capability, identifying opportunities to improve processes, championing best practice and helping shape the future roadmap of our Microsoft Dynamics platform. You'll also support and coach junior colleagues, providing quality assurance, sharing expertise and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
