About The Team And Role
The Recruitment and Admissions Department (R&A) provides a seamless service to prospective students, from their first enquiry through to enrolment, across all courses and study levels. We support enquirers, applicants, staff and external stakeholders through a wide range of services. Each year, we communicate with over 100,000 enquirers and applicants through our recruitment campaigns, welcome more than 40,000 visitors to campus, and deliver over 800 off-campus events. We also manage offer-making and communications for over 80,000 applications annually. Providing clear, high-quality information, advice and guidance is at the heart of what we do, helping students make informed decisions about higher education and Manchester Metropolitan University. We work on a hybrid basis, and are in the office at least two days each week.
The Student Recruitment Officer (Postgraduate) supports the delivery of multi-channel communication plans that enhance our home postgraduate recruitment and events strategy. You will work across a range of channels, including email, web and print, with a strong focus on delivering personalised, data-led communications using CRM systems to support conversion activity.

The role also includes supporting the planning, management and delivery of large-scale, end-to-end on-campus events, as well as contributing to the successful delivery of complex recruitment events both on campus and online.
