The role

We are seeking an experienced marketing and communications manager to raise awareness of, and engagement with, the activities of our Enterprise directorate, with a particular focus on our portfolio of regional Hubs.

The successful candidate will develop and deliver marketing plans and produce assets which may include social media posts, paid digital marketing, email newsletters, digital graphics, printed flyers, video clips, blog posts or press releases – tailoring each to regional audiences around the UK. While raising awareness of our regional Hubs with targeted outreach for key local activities, you will also work closely with a small Programme Communications team to contribute to communications plans for our entire suite of Enterprise Hub programmes, helping ensure that each delivers a sufficient volume of high quality, diverse applications from across the UK.

You will be expected to recommend marketing approaches to make an impact, while monitoring and evaluating campaigns to learn from successes and make suggestions for improvement. With good all-round communications skills, you will need to craft high impact copy as well as produce eye-catching visuals, all while adhering to the Academy’s and Enterprise Hub’s brand and visual identity guidelines. It will be vital to work in collaboration – managing suppliers, meeting the needs of colleagues in multiple teams, and working closely with external partners.

As part of the role, you will have a good eye for a story and will capture case studies of success from across our UK community of awardees. Working closely with our regional engagement team based in Hubs around the country, you will ensure our outreach aligns with the needs and expectations of regional audiences and find opportunities to leverage local influencers to strengthen our reach.

Over the last decade, we have supported more than 500 researchers, recent graduates and SME leaders to start up and scale up businesses that can give practical application to their inventions.

As a national Academy, the Royal Academy of Engineering provides specialist support for engineering and technology startups and scale ups right across the UK. In addition to our London base, we also operate regional Hubs in Belfast, Swansea, and Glasgow, with more to launch in 2025.

It is expected that regular travel between these Hubs and to regional events will form a key part of this new post. We are happy to consider applications from individuals willing to be based in our London, Belfast, or Swansea offices.
