Do you want to create marketing content that truly connects with people? LUT University is looking for a content coordinator to increase the international appeal of English-language degree programmes at the LAB University of Applied Sciences. You will create compelling content, build visibility across different channels, and do meaningful work in a creative, ambitious team.
The job is located in our Communications and Marketing unit, which is responsible for communications, marketing, and brand management at LUT University and the LAB University of Applied Sciences.
What your work will be like
Your job as a content coordinator is to make English-language bachelor's and master's programmes at the LAB University of Applied Sciences better known and more appealing by means of marketing communications. You are a creative and motivated marketing communications professional interested in the world around us. You are able to express complicated matters understandably, keeping your target audience in mind. You are aware of the opportunities provided by marketing and well versed in the most common tools of the trade.
Your main task will be to produce social media and website content. You will plan and execute marketing communications for English-language degree programmes through different channels for our international target audience. In addition, you will create content for student recruitment partnerships and help organise online and in-person events both in Finland and abroad.
What we expect from you
We are looking for a marketing communications professional who knows how to get the most out of different channels and keeps up with how they are evolving. You understand what type of content works best in each environment. You take initiative, stay focused on results, and have solid experience in managing marketing communications and social media as a whole. You write and speak English fluently and understand what content production requires for both social media and websites. Finnish language skills are an advantage in the job. Strong interpersonal skills, a collaborative and positive attitude, and a desire to learn new things are essential in carrying out your duties successfully.
A higher education degree is an asset, as is experience in the university of applied sciences sector. We also value strong channel-specific content creation skills and the ability to produce tailored, platform-appropriate content that resonates with the intended audience, especially in video format.
What we offer you
We offer meaningful work where you will be making the world a better place together with the LUT community. No two days are exactly the same. LUT's and LAB's Communications and Marketing and Career Services will support you in your daily work - both teams are ready to take on difficult questions right alongside you. You will also have the option of using part of your working hours for exercise, studies, and personal development.
Your home campus can be in either Lahti or Lappeenranta. Flexible remote work is possible, but regular on-campus presence is expected to stay connected with our students and staff. The work will start as soon as possible, and the starting date is negotiable. The position is permanent and full-time and begins with a six-month trial period.
The salary is determined by the general collective agreement for universities. The requirement level of the position is 7, and the pay includes a performance-based personal element. The gross salary is approximately EUR 2860 per month, depending on your qualifications and experience.
If you are excited about creating content that gets noticed and bringing new ideas to our team, we are looking forward to hearing from you!
