Play a pivotal role in the Senior Leadership Team, contributing to organisational strategy and innovation.

Developing and establishing a marketing strategy, as well as establishing a brand for the organisation that our stakeholders can relate too.

Take responsibility for the growth and development of our commercial operations, from bars and cafés to new ventures.

This role is central to driving commercial sustainability while enhancing the student experience. You’ll balance commercial performance with social purpose, ensuring our services are not only profitable but also meaningful to our members.

Key Responsibilities:

· Lead strategic and operational planning, deputising for the CEO when required.

· Develop and deliver a marketing strategy that strengthens our brand and deepens student engagement.

· A track record of developing and delivering successful marketing and commercial strategies.

· Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage diverse stakeholders.

· A collaborative and innovative mindset, able to balance business growth with social impact.

Why Join Us?

This is more than just a temporary role; it’s an opportunity to shape the long-term future of our Students’ Union. Over the next 18 months, we will be developing and expanding our commercial offer, and this role is key to that journey. For the right candidate, there is a strong possibility of the position becoming permanent.

We’re committed to equality of opportunity for all. We welcome applications from individuals regardless of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, or disability status.
