About the Role

We are looking for an Enquiry Management and Insights Associate to join our Applicant Engagement team.

The successful candidate will: 

  • regularly engage with new and prospective customers through a range of channels, including email, telephone and face-to-face 

  • manage enquiries from a broad range of customers in relation to new and existing student applications and university life 

  • contribute to identifying and assessing customer needs to better improve the team’s ability to deliver high levels of customer satisfaction 

  • work across a range of high value applicant engagement activities, linked to key recruitment priorities and campaigns
