About the Role

We are looking for a sharp, ambitious and growth-minded graduate to join UCM Education as a Graduate Marketing Executive.

This is not a traditional corporate marketing role.

It is an opportunity for someone at the beginning of their career to gain hands-on commercial experience within a fast-moving international education recruitment business.

You will support recruitment marketing, candidate attraction, campaigns, brand visibility, database engagement and wider business-growth initiatives while learning how marketing directly contributes to commercial results.

The marketing function is led strategically by senior leadership and makes extensive use of modern AI-supported tools and workflows. You will be expected to learn quickly, execute effectively and progressively take greater ownership as you develop.

You do not need to be an expert in recruitment marketing. What matters most is your intelligence, attitude, initiative, communication and willingness to learn.

Strong performers will have the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility, progress quickly and grow with the business over the long term.

What the Role Involves

You will support a mixture of:

• Recruitment marketing and candidate-attraction campaigns
• LinkedIn and recruiter visibility activity
• Talent-pool and candidate-database engagement
• Email campaigns and outreach
• Marketing content and campaign coordination
• Branding and engagement initiatives
• Market and competitor research
• Tracking campaign activity and performance
• Supporting wider growth-focused marketing projects
• Using AI-supported marketing tools and workflows to improve efficiency and output
• Gradually taking greater ownership of projects and campaigns as you develop

You will work closely with recruitment consultants, HR and leadership and gain practical exposure to how marketing supports recruitment, commercial activity and wider business growth.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who:

• Has strong academic performance, preferably a First Class or strong Second Class Upper degree
• Has excellent written and spoken English
• Communicates clearly, professionally and directly
• Is intelligent, curious and quick to learn
• Has a genuine interest in marketing, recruitment and business growth
• Is proactive and takes initiative
• Is organised, adaptable and attentive to detail
• Is comfortable receiving feedback and applying it
• Takes ownership and follows through on responsibilities
• Can think independently rather than waiting to be told every next step
• Wants long-term progression and development

Evidence of initiative beyond university will be viewed positively, including internships, leadership positions, societies, projects, volunteering, competitions or personal achievements.

Preferred Background

Relevant degrees may include:

• Marketing
• Business or Management
• Psychology
• Communications or Mass Communication
• Economics
• English
• Sociology
• Other related disciplines

Applicants from other academic backgrounds will also be considered where they demonstrate exceptional potential and genuine interest in marketing and business growth.

Experience

This role is suitable for fresh graduates or candidates with up to one year of professional experience.

Exposure to marketing, campaigns, social media, outreach, LinkedIn, Canva, CRM systems, email marketing or AI-supported marketing tools is beneficial but not essential.

Potential, attitude and learning ability are more important than having a perfect background.

This Role Is Not for You If

• You only want to focus on graphic design or social media posting
• You prefer highly repetitive, task-only work
• You are not interested in business growth or recruitment
• You need to be repeatedly chased for updates
• You struggle to communicate clearly
• You are not comfortable adapting and learning
• You are looking for a short-term role
• You are uncomfortable using AI-supported workflows

Working Arrangement

• Fully remote and Nigeria-based
• Monday to Friday
• 7:30am–4:00pm UK working hours
• Full-time availability required
• Reliable laptop, stable internet and backup arrangements required
• Immediate or reasonably prompt start preferred

Why Join Us?

• Gain hands-on commercial marketing experience
• Work within a growing international business
• Learn directly from recruitment and business leaders
• Receive regular feedback, development and salary reviews
• Gain exposure beyond basic social media marketing
• Take on increasing responsibility and ownership as you develop
• Work with modern AI-supported marketing workflows
• Potentially attend one fully covered team meetup per year
