Social Media Manager

At University College Birmingham, we transform lives through career‑focused education, outstanding student experiences, and sector‑leading financial support. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a Social Media Manager who can craft powerful narratives, spark meaningful conversations, and bring the student journey to life across every social platform.

You will turn ideas into thumb‑stopping content, build vibrant online communities, and ensure our digital presence feels alive, inclusive, and unmistakably student‑centred. You are someone who spots trends early, acts fast, and knows how to turn insight into impact.

Managing a team of three (including a videographer), you will lead:

• Social Strategy — Deliver a bold, data‑driven strategy that boosts engagement, strengthens brand awareness, and supports student recruitment.
• Channel Ownership — Oversee all student‑facing social channels, ensuring a consistent flow of creative, inclusive, and shareable content.
• Integrated Campaigns — Align organic and paid activity to maximise reach, impact, and cohesion across platforms.
• Performance & Protection — Conduct audits, monitor performance, analyse data, and identify risks and opportunities to enhance effectiveness and safeguard reputation.

You will have the freedom to experiment, the support to innovate, and the opportunity to build a digital presence that reflects the energy, diversity, and ambition of our community.

If you’re a strategist, creator, analyst, and community‑builder in one, this role offers the chance to make a genuine impact on how students see, feel and connect with the University.
