Excelon Associates, Inc. has been retained by the University of East London (UEL) to conduct this search.

The university's goal is to advance industry 5.0 careers-first education, provide a clear path to the jobs of the future, and drive diversity in the talent pipeline while building a sustainable, inclusive, and green future.

About the UEL Global Campus

The Opportunity

This is a build role, not a maintenance role. UEL's US presence is early-stage, and the Marketing Manager will operate with the autonomy and pace of a startup inside a 125-year-old institution. You will design regional marketing from the ground up, wear multiple hats, and carry a heavy workload with real ownership of the results.

Much of the work is self-directed. You will often be the marketing function on the ground, collaborating with UK-based teams across time zones rather than sitting alongside a large local department. Proven experience working remotely and independently, managing your own priorities, and delivering without day-to-day supervision is essential.

The Marketing Manager is responsible for designing, delivering, and evaluating regional marketing plans that support student recruitment, brand visibility, local engagement, and hub activities. The role oversees regional marketing staff as the team grows, coordinates with UK teams, and ensures all campaigns and content reflect UEL's brand and growth ambitions.

• Oversee the creation of compelling content including stories, videos, testimonials, student and alumni features, employer partnerships, and hub activities
• Ensure regional webpages are accurate, current, easy to navigate, and optimized for user experience

Student Recruitment and Conversion Support

• Support recruitment through targeted content, communications, and conversion campaigns tailored to regional audiences
• Produce region-specific marketing collateral for prospective students, influencers, partners, and applicants
• Collaborate with UK Admissions and Recruitment to align messaging and timelines with central processes
