An exciting opportunity to make a substantial difference.

Under new leadership, Brac University is seeking to move well beyond being one of the leading universities in Bangladesh and position itself as one of Asia’s leading international universities. To support this aim, we are seeking to recruit a dynamic and experienced individual with the ability to attract a diverse range of high-quality students to the University. If you haven’t considered Bangladesh in the past, then we urge you to think again. With one of the fastest growing economies in the world, the nation is a modern-day success story. Its rapidly diversifying economy is being powered by a talented and youthful population. Brac University is playing an integral role in the development of skilled graduates for a knowledge-based economy. If you relish the challenge of building successful marketing and student recruitment strategies you will thrive in this role.

Although only eighteen years old, Brac University has rapidly established itself as Bangladesh’s leading private university. We now seek to be recognized as a high performing international university through providing teaching excellence, generating impactful research, and being recognized as a leader in student experience. We are proud to be associated with BRAC, the world’s largest NGO and share its commitment to upholding human values and supporting sustainable development. You will direct recruitment strategies that promote the university nationally and internationally. Develop the University’s strategy for student recruitment in conjunction with the leaders of Schools, Departments and Institutes, senior management colleagues and the Marketing and Communications Department. You will consistently meet student admissions targets closely aligned to the overall student recruitment strategy.

You will ideally have a well-developed understanding of higher education in the national and international context. Up to date understanding of the wider strategic aspects of student recruitment in HE, and the ability to develop successful marketing strategies. Demonstration of strategic capabilities and tangible evidence of achieving meaningful results at a senior level will be necessary. Furthermore, evidence of understanding and successfully responding to the needs of a broad stakeholder group will be required.

Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work with a diverse group of colleagues and external stakeholders is essential. Experience of undertaking similar previous assignments would be beneficial.
