We’re seeking an inspiring Marketing Manager to join our new Research and Enterprise Marketing team. We’ve recently restructured our marketing department to better fulfil the University Strategy and created a dedicated Research and Enterprise team who will play a major part in delivering on our enterprise strategy and research impact plans.
