Marketing & Events Manager (Alumni, Business & Employer Engagement)

Join University College Birmingham at a pivotal moment as we build a new Business and Employer Engagement team designed to put industry partnerships at the heart of the UCB experience.

This new function will drive a step-change in how the University works with employers — connecting businesses with talent, skills, enterprise, innovation and specialist expertise across our academic schools.

Whether through placements, apprenticeships, CPD, consultancy, live projects, events, CRM insight or student enterprise, this team will turn UCB’s ‘Putting Knowledge to Work’ strategy into visible impact for students, employers and the wider region.

We are looking for ambitious, commercially minded and collaborative people who want to help shape something new, build meaningful partnerships, and play a direct role in opening opportunities for students and businesses alike.

As Marketing and Events Manager, you will bring UCB’s business-facing offer to life through compelling campaigns, communications and events.

Working across employer engagement, alumni, business development and academic teams, you will lead activity that promotes UCB’s offer to employers, partners and alumni — from sector briefings and networking events to targeted campaigns for CPD, apprenticeships, placements, graduate talent and commercial services.

This is a creative, hands-on role for someone who can combine sharp messaging, strong project management and a clear understanding of business audiences.

The interview will take place on the 23 June 2026
