A top 30 UK university (Guardian University Guide 2026)

1st in the North‑East for student support services (Daily Mail University Guide 2026)
1st in the North‑East for teaching quality (The Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026)

Your next opportunity

This role will focus on designing and developing content for the corporate website, building and maintaining webpages within the content management system based on the established information architecture, and creating content that supports a user-focused, sustainable, and legally compliant web presence for the University.

2. Data-Driven Content Optimization & SEO Expertise

Experience using web analytics, user feedback, user research, and metrics to continuously audit and improve content performance.
Ability to conduct user research and use SEO tools (such as Ahrefs, Hotjar, and GA4) to identify content gaps, map out keyword targeting, and build optimized content pillars.

3. Stakeholder Management & Collaborative CMS Project Delivery

Strong interpersonal and communication skills with a proven track record of working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams and managing diverse stakeholder/client expectations across a large organization.
Hands-on experience working with complex Content Management Systems (CMS) or Digital Experience Platforms (DXP) to build, manage, and publish high-quality website content under tight project deadlines.

Why join us?
