HE Partnerships at Unifrog

After successfully launching the HE Partnerships arm of Unifrog in 2020, we now support 175+ global universities with raising brand awareness, inspiring the next generation, and developing a talented and diverse pipeline of prospective applicants. We also connect universities with teachers, advisors, and international school counselors through the Unifrog online community and in-person events.

What you’ll do

As HE Partnerships Manager, your role is to grow our university partner numbers and support our existing university partners to get the most out of their partnership with us. A fundamental element of our work with universities is to make sure they’re adding genuine value to our student and teacher community. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Make sales to universities in the UK and around the world

  You’ll set up and conduct meetings with university staff in which you’ll listen to their needs, communicate our mission to them, demonstrate our offering, and seek to secure the university’s ongoing subscription.

• Maintain excellent relationships with existing partner universities, and secure their resubscriptions

  You’ll onboard new partners, conduct regular check-in calls, and consultatively support our partner universities to make the most of their partnership with us in line with their goals. It’s crucial that you maintain a sky-high resubscription rate.

• Deliver our existing services for partner universities

  Our HE offering is new and fast evolving. You’ll be involved in delivering every part of it, including:

  • Insights dashboard

    • Our Insights dashboard and reports use aggregated data from the Unifrog platform to uncover trends at subject and regional levels, and are designed to inform universities’ marketing, recruitment and portfolio planning. You’ll consult with partner universities to help them get the most out of their Insights dashboard, present reports to them, and identify potential upsell opportunities.

  • Student fairs, college counselor networking events, and teacher conferences

    • These events are a great way for our partner universities to interact with our community of students and teachers. We want our events to be useful and enjoyable for all parties. You’ll make sure your partners get involved in the events that best meet their recruitment and outreach objectives, as well as leveraging their best academics and student ambassadors to present to Unifrog students.

• Identify upsell opportunities that will help our partners to achieve their goals

  You’ll seek to build relationships across different university departments, such as Marketing, International recruitment or Widening Participation, to increase our scope of work with each HE partner. Central to this will be showcasing the extra support we offer in addition to the annual subscription.

• Help develop new ways for our university partners to add and receive value

  We are just getting started with how we support universities to add value for the students and teachers using the Unifrog platform, and how we support universities to receive value as well. We want you to play your part in coming up with new services we can deliver: at Unifrog we innovate quickly, and it’s everyone’s job to be creative.

What we're looking for

• Resilient, and motivated to exceed targets

Our sales and resubscription targets are achievable but ambitious. You’ll need to be determined to meet and exceed them.

• Strong communication skills

You’ll be in frequent communication with lots of different people, both within Unifrog and externally – this will be in person, written, over the phone and via video call. You’ll need to be an outstanding communicator.

• Personable, with a track record of excellent relationship management

At Unifrog we’re known for our excellent customer service. You’ll need to provide fantastic support for your partner universities and make sure your team are doing the same.

• Sector insight

We work with Universities around the world that are often very different from each other; you need to be quick to understand how we can be useful to them, and how they can be useful to our students and teachers. 

• Attention to detail

Whether it’s marketing collateral or a new Insights Report, it’s important you have the skills and discipline to carefully check our HE focused content.

• Proactive attitude and willingness to get stuck in

You need to be excited about going beyond the core responsibilities detailed above to improve what we do and make it a success.

Working together

You’ll work alongside our three existing HE Partnership Managers, our HE Partnerships Coordinator, New Business Lead (HE and Employers), as well as people on our marketing, data analysis, and school-facing teams. 

You’ll be line-managed by our Head of HE Partnerships.

• To ensure that our recruitment process is consistent and fair, we anonymise your application and therefore do not see your name, personal, educational or professional background. We also randomise the order of responses so that it’s less likely that a candidate is advantaged or disadvantaged by where their answers appear compared to other candidates.

We are looking for a Development Manager in our Place Development Team who will focus on Public Leisure.A key element within our 10-year Strategy - Uniting the Movement is our commitment to work through Place, Creating Active Environments and supporting Public Leisure facilities to be more community focused and evolve to an active wellbeing service:

• Creating  Active Environment’s provides places and spaces for people to be more active and build healthier active communities.

• Developing stronger, happier healthy communities and better places to live, by ensuring our built and natural environments and the connections in between are design or adapted around people, creating the opportunities to increase physical activity levels

• Places and spaces around us deliver a positive impact on whether, how, when, and where we move. Every space and place that we move through in our daily lives should encourage us to move more. Dedicated sport and leisure spaces should be co-created, well designed and inclusive.

• Public leisure facilities and services have a vital and unique role to play in our sport and activity ecosystem because of their value to the people who use them most. The public leisure sector also has a central role to play in the delivery of our Uniting the Movement strategy, as it is a core element of each of the five Big Issues we have identified as having the greatest potential for preventing and tackling inequalities in sport and physical activity.

• Our Future of Public Leisure report identified two medium term goals for the sector (1) to transition from a traditional leisure service to one which is far more focussed on active wellbeing (2) to move to a model that focusses on added value and supporting the delivery of local priorities, and with that enable the delivery of wider government priorities around Levelling Up, net zero and health inequalities

• To fully understand the role of public leisure centres, Moving Communities Facilities provides a real-time view of local authority facility performance, with benchmarking and filtering functionality, that explores financial performance alongside understanding how effective the service is and for whom, and its impact on local communities.

• The platform has developed into Moving Communities Place which is a comprehensive data platform that provides a detailed, place-based view of participation in physical activity by measuring direct delivery to demonstrate the scale, impact and value to local communities.​

Sport England recognises the positive value of diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination. We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly where we are under-represented, currently, this includes disabled people and those from culturally diverse communities.

About Us

The Upper Room (TUR) works with a wide range of financially and socially disadvantaged groups including homeless people, people with long-term mental health conditions, asylum-seekers, refugees and ex-offenders – helping them to improve their lives and become productive members of society. Central to our offering is our UR4Meals service, providing free, home-cooked food to people who cannot afford to provide for themselves. We are also very proud of our UR4Driving programme, which supports people recently out of prison with free driving lessons in exchange for community volunteering. Gaining a driving licence greatly enhances their future employability prospects and helps break the cycle of re-offending. Additionally, our UR4Jobs project focusses on both client wellbeing and breaking down the many barriers to employment faced by disadvantaged people every day.

The role

Is an exciting new edition to the TUR team, created to capitalise on the fact that the number of businesses in our catchment area is 45000+, but we’re not trying to talk to all of them, just target a few – ideally by gaining referrals and recommendations. So the job is to proactively find those local businesses happy to talk to us, understand what they might be looking for by partnering with a charity, share our brilliant story along with the business case (which is strong) for them to get involved with us in some way. We have made an excellent start, we already have a small number of great corporate partners, and this job is about taking it all on to the next level. As you would expect the role is about creating contacts, networking, maximising the face-to-face time with prospective partners and where possible gaining referrals. And, ultimately this is all because, the bigger our portfolio of corporate partners all feeling great about their involvement with us, the more able we are to raise the funds we need to keep up with an ever-increasing demand for our services.

About You

You live within - or know well, West/Central London, you probably need a job with some working flexibility and want to have genuine belief in the product or service you’re talking about. You have a CV that demonstrates solid experience in a comparable role in a ‘business-to-business’ environment, a role - the success of which, is dependent on the levels of energy and proactivity you provide. This could be in another charity, CIC or other Non-Profit organisation. However, if you have a solid B2B background and want to explore a change of direction you are also very welcome to apply. You are comfortable and confident with working autonomously, you can articulate and ‘bring to life’ your story through your presentation skills. You also need great listening skills so you can build a picture of what each new corporate partner is looking to achieve by signing up to our cause. You have used Microsoft suite products before – including PowerPoint. A driving licence and use of a car is desirable as the role requires regular client visits, some of whom may not be accessible by public transport.

Travel: Some travel will be expected on an ad hoc basis to our Chesterfield office
