Content Marketing Executive

Job Location

Location: London, Docklands campus, Hybrid

Job Description

About the role Here's what you'll be doing

Planning, filming and editing original video content for social media, campaigns and the UEL website. Finding and shaping authentic stories about our students, courses and university life - always clear about the audience, the purpose and the action the story should inspire. Writing clear, engaging copy for social posts, webpages, campaign advertising, case studies and emails. Creating and managing content plans and marketing materials, including prospectuses and printed collateral, from brief through to delivery.

Working with student ambassadors, colleagues, agencies and other creatives, and using performance insight to make content even stronger. This is a hands‑on role for someone who can take a piece of content from idea to final edit. You'll combine strong videography and editorial instincts with a real understanding of why a story matters, who it is for and how it supports student recruitment. You'll manage several projects at once while keeping every piece of work purposeful, accessible and on brand.

About You We're looking for a Content Marketing Executive who is as comfortable behind the camera and in the edit as they are developing an idea, writing the copy and working with people to uncover the story. You'll fit right in if you: Have strong, hands‑on experience filming and editing video content, with a showreel or examples that demonstrate your creative and technical ability. Are a thoughtful storyteller who starts with the purpose, understands the audience and can turn insight into content that connects and inspires action.

Can create compelling content across digital and social channels, with excellent copywriting and editing skills. Understand how to engage young and diverse audiences, adapting stories with care for different cultures, formats and platforms. Are organised, collaborative and confident managing projects, deadlines and stakeholders without losing sight of the creative detail. Sound like your kind of role? We'd love to hear from you. Please include a link to your showreel or examples of video and content work with your application.
