The Executive Director of Marketing, Student Wellbeing and Partnerships will provide strategic leadership across a broad and deliberately integrated portfolio encompassing student attraction, marketing and brand, home and international recruitment, student insight, educational partnerships, student services and wellbeing, product development, alumni engagement and internal communications. Reporting to the Vice Chancellor and joining the Executive Team, the Executive Director will bring these capabilities together around a coherent approach spanning the full student lifecycle, from initial market insight and course development through to recruitment, student success and lifelong connection.

The successful candidate will be an accomplished senior leader with a strong record of building brands, improving student attraction and recruitment and leading complex, multidisciplinary services. A sophisticated understanding of changing domestic and international higher education markets will be supported by the effective use of data and insight to identify opportunities, shape the academic portfolio, strengthen conversion and deliver measurable results. The ability to develop productive educational partnerships, champion student voice and wellbeing and build strong relationships across academic and professional services communities will be essential.

With more than 5,000 students representing over 100 nationalities, Ravensbourne is a distinctive, industry-focused university operating at the intersection of creativity, technology and business. Its 2025–2030 strategy sets out an ambitious next chapter focused on growing and diversifying the academic portfolio, extending its national and international reach and deepening its relationships with industry. Sustained work to strengthen teaching, academic support and learning opportunities has resulted in Ravensbourne’s strongest ever National Student Survey results in 2026, marking five consecutive years of improvement.

This is an opportunity to join a university with a distinctive identity, an enviable London location and a genuine appetite to evolve. Guided by values of professionalism, connection, dynamism, inclusion, transformation and relevance, Ravensbourne is looking for a commercially minded, creative and empowering leader who can unite specialist teams behind a shared purpose and translate institutional ambition into sustained growth and an outstanding student experience.
