• Come up with fun, original, and creative ideas for content, campaigns, and ways to engage the student community.

• Create engaging content for UIS social media channels, including posts, stories, reels, and event announcements.

• Support the planning and scheduling of a consistent content calendar across platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

• Develop promotional strategies and campaigns to maximise visibility, ticket sales, and attendance.

• Work alongside all UIS teams to promote their projects and events, from initial announcements to post-event recaps.

• Collaborate with university Italian Societies and their committees to share content and extend the reach of UIS initiatives.

• Help maintain a consistent visual identity and tone of voice across all UIS communications.

• Support communication with partners and sponsors, including the creation of promotional material for collaborations.

• Monitor engagement and performance, and suggest new approaches based on what works best.

• Assist with photography, video, and content capture at UIS events.

• Participate in regular team meetings and contribute actively to brainstorming and the development of upcoming projects.

What we’re looking for:

• A university student currently studying in the United Kingdom, preferably based in London.

• Someone creative, enthusiastic, reliable, and proactive, with a genuine interest in marketing, social media, and communications.

• A curious and imaginative mindset, someone who loves coming up with new ideas and isn’t afraid to try something different.

• Familiarity with social media platforms and current trends, with an eye for what makes content fun and engaging.

• Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to collaborate with students, societies, and external partners.

• Good time management and organisational skills, particularly when working towards campaign and event deadlines.

• A willingness to take initiative and bring fresh energy to the way UIS connects with its audience.

• Experience with tools such as Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, CapCut, or similar is welcome but not required.

• Previous experience in marketing, content creation, student societies, or communications is welcome but not required.

• A passion for connecting students and contributing to the growth of the Italian community in the UK.
