About the Role

Every week, MITE’s students, faculty and alumni do things worth talking about. We want someone who can find those stories and tell them well.

As our Digital Marketing & Communications Coordinator, you will lead the College’s day-to-day digital content and social media communications. You will be the bridge between what happens on campus (academic achievements, student life, placements, research, industry engagement and events) and MITE’s digital presence. You will work closely with academic departments, faculty, and teams such as Admissions, Training & Placement, Alumni Relations and Administration.

Together, you will identify and promote the stories that strengthen MITE’s visibility, reputation and institutional voice, so that prospective students, parents, recruiters and alumni see what makes us stand out.

This is a strategic communications role, not just a posting job. Guided by MITE’s long-term strategic plan to 2028, you will shape how the institution is seen by students, parents, recruiters and industry. You will report directly to the director of Administrations / Management.

What You’ll Do

- Find the stories: Work with departments, Placements, Admissions and Alumni Relations to uncover achievements,



events and industry engagements worth sharing.
- Plan with purpose: Build a monthly content calendar around admissions cycles, placements and academic milestones, choosing the right format and platform for each audience.
- Own our social presence: Manage Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube, keeping branding consistent and engaging with our community.
- Cover events end to end: Proactively handle pre-, during- and post-event coverage of guest lectures, conferences, placement drives and workshops, from speaker research to highlights and short videos.
- Oversee content creation and quality: Produce and guide high-quality video, design and copy that reflect MITE’s identity, ensuring consistency across platforms and timely publication.
- Drive search visibility: Apply SEO, keyword research and YouTube optimisation.
- Measure, report and refine: Track reach, engagement, views and enquiries, and present monthly insights and recommendations to leadership to sharpen strategy.
- Ensure content follows brand guidelines and approval processes, and handle student and placement information with discretion.

What You Bring

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, Media Studies, Business Administration, English or a related field
- 4-7 years of experience in digital marketing, social media, content creation or communications (2-3 years considered with an outstanding portfolio)

Always a plus: Experience in a college, university or youth-focused organisation, and a portfolio of social content, videos or campaigns.
