Head of Campus Attraction in London

We are Wiser, a global, award-winning Employer Brand agency. We build employer brands to guide the best in the biz into their dream career with our clients. We transform a company’s employer brand internally and externally and change cultures from the ground up. Our clients have a single partnership with Wiser and we deliver end-to-end campaigns helping them to attract and retain the best talent globally.

We're looking for an ambitious, creative and commercially minded leader to help take Wiser's Attraction offering to the next level. Our Attraction team helps some of the world's most exciting employers connect with the next generation of talent. From student ambassador programmes and campus activations to digital competitions and attraction strategies, we bring employer brands to life and create experiences that genuinely make an impact.

As our Head of Campus Attraction, you'll lead our UK team, oversee our growing portfolio of Academy X ambassador programmes and play a key role in developing and delivering creative attraction campaigns across the UK, US and Middle East. You'll be responsible for building brilliant client relationships, delivering exceptional work, developing a high-performing team and identifying opportunities to grow our client base and offering.

This is a role for someone who loves the bigger picture but isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves. You'll need to be equally comfortable pitching an idea to a client, leading a team through a busy delivery period and finding a creative solution when something doesn't go to plan. With a team in London and projects across multiple markets, brilliant communication, ownership and collaboration will be essential.

What will you spend your time doing?

• Leading and developing our team: Lead, support and develop our UK Attraction team, creating an environment where everyone can do their best work.
• Owning and growing our Academy X programmes: Oversee our portfolio of Academy X student ambassador programmes, currently supporting five clients, with ambitions to grow this further.
• Creating and delivering standout attraction campaigns: Lead the development, pitching and delivery of creative campus events, experiential activations and wider early talent campaigns across the UK and US.
• Building brilliant client relationships and growing our business: Build strong, trusted relationships with clients, becoming someone they turn to for ideas, advice and solutions.
• Improving the attraction infrastructure as we grow: Bring fresh ideas to the table and challenge how we do things, always looking for smarter, more effective ways to deliver.

What are we looking for?

• Experience in early talent, ideally 5+ years, with a strong understanding of the university landscape, student audiences and campus recruitment.
• Strong client-facing experience, with a proven ability to manage relationships, lead meetings, present confidently and build trust with stakeholders.
• Hands-on events experience, including organising and delivering successful events or campaigns.
• People management experience, with the ability to lead, motivate and develop others while creating a positive and supportive team environment.
• Strong commercial acumen, with proven experience developing proposals, pitching and winning work.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.

What's in it for you?

• A Happiness team whose role is to make Wiser the best place to work possible.
• A culture calendar full of options - from black tie to sports day, book club or run club.
• The W breakfast - our Happiness team makes sure everyone starts the day right with a hotel-worthy breakfast spread.
• On top of your holiday allowance, the office also closes for up to 2 weeks over the festive period.
• Wiser Bank Holiday - an extra day off in October each year to celebrate our first ever million-pound-month.
• Work from Anywhere - everyone has a number of days to work from home or wherever they fancy.

• Gymbox - access to our exclusive Wiser x Gymbox partnership.

At Wiser, we’re committed to fostering a culture where everyone feels empowered to be themselves and inspired to excel. We know that true creativity and innovation thrive when diversity is celebrated and everyone is given equal access to opportunities. We believe that everyone should feel comfortable and be able to back themselves in an inclusive environment where individuality is celebrated.
