The opportunity

UAL Online is in a dynamic development phase, characterised by rapid growth. In response to this expansion, we are now looking for an Online Student Recruitment & Sales Manager with a strong sales background to take on a key leadership role within our Student Recruitment team.

 

Working closely with your colleagues across the team and beyond, you will be instrumental in shaping the journey of prospective students. This will involve overseeing a recruitment pipeline and leading team members, consistently setting the standard through your actions and ensuring a high-quality, seamless experience throughout. 


If you are motivated by purpose and creativity, believe in the transformative power of higher education, possess excellent communication skills, and are dedicated to helping develop your team members achieve their professional goals, you’d be an excellent match for our team.

About you

We’re seeking a Student Recruitment Manager with an entrepreneurial mindset—someone excited by the energy of a hands‑on, all-in environment. You’ll work closely with colleagues across teams, embracing collaboration, adaptability and innovation at every turn.


The post holder will have significant experience in online programme management (or similar field) and a solid understanding of the higher education sector. They will be skilled in managing recruitment pipelines and well-versed in conversion KPIs and strategies. Although extensive management experience is not essential, they will demonstrate strong leadership skills and bring valuable coaching experience and expertise.


The full list of requirements can be found in the Person Specification section of the Job Description.

We operate a fair and open anonymous selection process. Thus, you will need to create an account and submit an application through our job board. As part of this, you will need to answer some competency questions to demonstrate your suitability. Our recruitment process involves: application, shortlisting, assessment/interview, offer, onboarding.

We understand the benefits of using AI in work. But, if you are thinking of using it to submit an application, we ask you to think about what value it adds. AI tools tend to lack the personal touch and authenticity we value in candidates. We encourage you to showcase your unique knowledge and skills using your own voice.

If we receive a high volume of applications, the closing day date might close early. We aim to communicate any changes to the closing date with at least 24 hours' notice.
