About the role

We are looking for an organised, proactive and customer-focused Administrator to join AUB’s International team. This is a varied role supporting a wide range of international activity across the University, including student recruitment, international partnerships, mobility and study abroad. You will provide high-quality administrative support to the team, helping to coordinate activity, maintain accurate records, support events and visits, and respond to enquiries from students, partners and colleagues.

Strong communication and organisational skills are essential, together with confidence in working with systems, financial data and a wide range of internal and external contacts. The role would suit someone who is interested in international higher education and enjoys being part of a team working with students and partners from around the world.
