- Be present where it matters: Guide and review social coverage of school, college, and university events
- Make data your co-pilot: Track performance, dig into insights, and optimise content and campaigns for impact
- Protect the brand: Ensure timely community engagement, issue management, and reputation hygiene
- Collaborate like a pro: Work closely with internal marketing, design, and leadership teams
- Scale influence: Oversee influencer collaborations and evaluate what actually moved the needle
