St Mark’s College – a vibrant, inclusive, and values-driven residential academic community – is seeking a dynamic and strategic Marketing and Communications Officer to lead the promotion of our College to prospective students and stakeholders across Australia and around the world.

In our Centenary year, we’re excited to be building toward a future as Australia’s leading university residential college. This is a rare opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping our brand and attracting the best and brightest students to live, learn and thrive at St Mark’s.

About the role

In this varied and rewarding position, you will:

Drive the College’s student recruitment strategy, ensuring our community is full with high-quality undergraduate and postgraduate students from diverse backgrounds.

Manage and grow our marketing, communications, and digital presence – including our website, social media, and College publications.

Develop strong relationships with schools, universities, students and parents, acting as an ambassador for the College.

Lead and coordinate recruitment events, expos, Open Days and College tours – often in regional and interstate locations.

Work with the Head of College and our exceptional staff team on strategic branding, communications campaigns and business development opportunities.

Supervise student leaders in outreach, photography, and videography.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role suited to someone who is as confident crafting compelling content as they are presenting to students or advising on strategy.

About you

You are a confident communicator and creative thinker with:

Proven experience in marketing, communications, or student recruitment.

Excellent writing and digital media skills, with a flair for storytelling.

A passion for education and student life, and an ability to build rapport across diverse audiences.

Experience with social media platforms, website management (e.g. WordPress), email platforms (e.g. Mailchimp), and graphic design tools (e.g. Adobe Creative Suite, Canva).

Strong organisational and project management skills.

A current driver’s licence and a willingness to travel regularly, including to regional areas.

Experience in the university or student accommodation sector is highly desirable, but not essential.

Why join us?

Be part of an excellent, mission-driven team helping students reach their potential.

Contribute meaningfully to the future of a College with a proud 100-year history.

Work in beautiful heritage-listed surroundings in North Adelaide, with meals, car parking, and use of College facilities included.

Enjoy an attractive remuneration package and flexible working arrangements.
