Conversion Officer

Join our dynamic and forward‑thinking International Office at UWE Bristol, where we are committed to attracting and supporting students from around the globe. We are seeking an innovative and motivated Conversion Officer to play a critical role in enhancing our international recruitment and engagement efforts. You will be responsible for driving marketing‑led communication strategies to boost applicant conversion rates, working closely with the International Recruitment Team and external partners.

This role involves planning and delivering targeted marketing and conversion activity across the applicant journey, including managing B2C and B2B communication plans, coordinating virtual and in‑person events, and creating compelling, insight‑led content across digital platforms. You’ll also supervise junior team members, provide leadership in key projects, and build relationships with vital external partners.

About you

You are a proactive and detail‑oriented professional with a passion for marketing, communication, recruitment, and international engagement. You thrive in a dynamic environment, can manage multiple priorities, and have excellent interpersonal skills to build relationships both within and outside the university.

Where you will be working

In this role, you’ll be based at our modern Frenchay Campus where we’ve invested in state‑of‑the‑art facilities designed to help both staff and students succeed. You’ll spend most of your time on campus, typically 2 days per week, with the opportunity to work from home on the remaining days.

We offer a wide range of employee benefits including progressive pay rates, very generous annual leave and career average pension schemes as well as retail savings, onsite nursery and opportunities for training and personal development. We’re part of a vibrant, multicultural city and welcome talented people from all backgrounds. Diversity is our strength, enhancing creativity, decision‑making, and problem‑solving. Join our supportive community and thrive.

We particularly encourage applications from global majority candidates as we are currently under‑represented in this area, however all appointments are made strictly on individual merit. As a Disability Confident employer, we encourage applications from disabled or neurodivergent candidates.

This is a part‑time, permanent post, working 22.5 hours per week. This role is offered as part of a job share. While we are ideally seeking someone able to work Wednesday to Friday to complement the existing working pattern, we recognise the importance of flexible working and are happy to discuss alternative arrangements with suitable candidates.

Salary offers are made in line with the University’s salary assessment guidelines, reflecting your relevant skills and experience in parity with colleagues.
