HELP US BREAK THE MOULD
We’re not trying to fit in with the higher education status quo. We’re challenging it. We’re doing things differently – because our students, our staff, and our world need us to.
So this is an exciting moment to join us. We’re boldly reimagining what a university can be: a place rooted in social mobility, a community where difference is celebrated, and an institution that empowers people to become more than they thought possible.
We're looking for someone who can take the lead in telling BNU’s story with clarity and impact. As External Communications Manager, you’ll create campaigns that champion our people, research and achievements while strengthening our reputation.
You’ll build strong relationships with journalists, stakeholders, and colleagues across the University to uncover stories, respond to opportunities and ensure messaging is consistent and compelling.
From media coverage to digital platforms, you’ll produce content that informs and inspires - always guided by evidence and insight. With creativity and vision, you’ll play a key role in protecting and enhancing our reputation, and in sharing the story of a University we’re proud to be part of.
