About the Role

We're looking for a creative and digitally-savvy content creator to join the commercial marketing team at the University of Warwick.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who loves creating engaging social media and digital content that captures attention, tells compelling stories and helps grow audiences.

Working across a diverse portfolio of businesses including Warwick Sport, Warwick Conferences, Warwick Arts Centre, Warwick Food Group and the Innovation Group, you'll create content that supports marketing campaigns, customer engagement and commercial objectives.

You'll be responsible for producing a wide range of content, with a particular focus on social media and video. From planning and filming short-form video content to  capturing events and creating engaging digital assets, you'll help bring our brands to life across multiple channels.
