The Higher Education industry is going through an exciting transition, moving away from traditional teaching methods, using more digital platforms, resources and tools. A highly successful publisher of educational products is looking to recruit an experienced and motivated marketing professional to join their HE marketing team, providing support for the European, Middle East and Africa markets (EMEA), to effectively position their suite of print and digital resources and courseware to target the Higher Education sector.

• Participating in and presenting the product in strategy sessions at sales meetings as well as presenting product information to the Sales team via face to face and online channels.
• Conduct market research and analyse data to support customer decisions and for the use of internal and external marketing campaigns.
• Set the pricing if import products to ensure these are competitively priced for EMEA markets.

The successful person will be educated to degree level or equivalent with demonstrable marketing executive experience, ideally from a publishing or educational background.
