The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) is a multidisciplinary research and teaching department of the University of Oxford, dedicated to the social science of the Internet.
Digital connections are now embedded in almost every aspect of our daily lives, and research on individual and collective behaviour online is crucial to understanding our social, economic, and political world. The last year has seen AI become a mainstream topic of conversation and questions about the relationship between technology and wellbeing continue to engage our audiences.
We’re looking for a Media and Communications Manager to join us in a job share capacity (at 0.4FTE or 0.6FTE) as we continue to increase the OII’s public profile and broaden and deepen its external relationships with government, business, civil society and academia.
Based at the OII in the heart of Oxford and with the opportunity for a mix of office-based and remote working, this post is available immediately and is fixed term until 31 December 2025.
Tasks will involve:
• Leading OII’s media and public relations
• Managing proactive and reactive news stories through networking with media, students and academic staff
• Delivering a regular stream of high-quality, SEO-optimised and engaging content for the Institute’s digital channels
• Development of the internal communications and engagement plan for the OII
• Managing a small budget for activities related to communications and public relations
• Ensuring that departmental communications follow the University guidelines on branding
• Planning and overseeing marketing campaigns including the production of promotional materials for departmental campaigns and events
The ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience and evidence of success in media and public relations, excellent attention to detail, writing and editing skills, proficient computer skills, and experience of project management. Previous work within a Higher Education or Technology sector setting is desirable.

Further queries can be directed to Mark Malbas ([email protected]).
You will be required to upload a supporting statement, a CV, and details of two referees as part of your online application.
The closing date for applications is 3rd April 2024 at midday. Any applications received after this deadline will not be considered.
