Job Summary The David Eccles School of Business is seeking a hands-on Web & Digital Experience Specialist, Enrollment Marketing to support the digital experiences, content, and communications that help prospective students discover programs, evaluate their options, take the next step, and ultimately enroll.
This role supports 13 graduate business programs, Executive Education classes and certificates, and other enrollment-focused initiatives. The position works closely with enrollment marketing, admissions, recruitment, and program teams to ensure prospective students and Executive Education participants receive accurate, timely, compelling, and easy-to-navigate information throughout their decision-making journey.
This is a hands-on production role. The successful candidate will regularly work directly in WordPress and HTML to build, update, troubleshoot, and publish prospect-facing digital content while also supporting broader enrollment marketing initiatives across email, CRM communications, landing pages, recruitment events, campaigns, search optimization, and other digital touchpoints.
The role is ideal for someone who combines strong web production skills with an understanding of how digital content supports recruitment and enrollment. The goal is not simply to publish information. The work should make it easier for prospective students to understand their options, answer important questions, engage with the School, apply, and enroll.
This is a fast-paced, execution-focused position for someone who can manage a high volume of work, respond quickly to changing enrollment priorities, maintain accuracy across a large portfolio, and independently move projects forward.
Because admissions requirements, tuition, curriculum, deadlines, events, program offerings, and recruitment priorities change throughout the enrollment cycle, this position must be able to quickly translate those changes into accurate and effective prospect-facing experiences across multiple digital channels.
Responsibilities
Website & Digital Experience
- Manage a high volume of website updates across graduate business programs and Executive Education with a focus on speed, accuracy, consistency, and minimal rework.
- Build, update, and maintain webpages in WordPress using existing templates, components, and brand standards.
- Edit and troubleshoot HTML within the content management system when needed to resolve formatting, layout, and display issues.
- Respond quickly to website updates involving admissions requirements, tuition, curriculum, deadlines, faculty, events, program formats, schedules, and other enrollment-related information.
- Audit existing webpages to identify outdated, incomplete, inconsistent, or unclear content that may create friction for prospective students.
- Draft, edit, and structure web content around the questions prospective students commonly ask, including cost, admissions, curriculum, scheduling, career outcomes, program format, and application requirements.
- Maintain clear calls to action and pathways that help prospects inquire, register for an event, connect with recruitment staff, apply, or take another appropriate next step.
- Conduct quality assurance reviews to verify links, formatting, functionality, accuracy, consistency, and usability before and after publication.
- Apply basic visual hierarchy, layout, usability, and digital design principles to improve readability and the prospective student experience.
- Identify opportunities to improve navigation, content organization, page structure, and conversion pathways across program websites.
Enrollment Marketing & Prospective Student Communications
- Support enrollment marketing initiatives designed to generate prospective student interest and move candidates through the recruitment and admissions funnel.
- Develop, edit, and deploy prospective student communications supporting inquiry, application, admissions, enrollment, events, deadlines, and other stages of the student journey.

- Assist with admitted student and enrollment conversion communications as needed.
- Help ensure consistency across website content, email, CRM communications, recruitment outreach, digital campaigns, and other prospective student touchpoints.
- Support rapid-response enrollment efforts when programs need additional applications, event attendance, prospective student engagement, or other recruitment activity.
- Look beyond individual communications to consider how multiple touchpoints work together throughout the prospect journey.
Campaign & Landing Page Production
- Build and maintain landing pages supporting paid media, email, recruitment campaigns, employer outreach, events, partnerships, and other enrollment initiatives.
- Adapt messaging, page structure, and calls to action for different prospective student audiences, programs, and campaigns.
- Coordinate campaign destinations with enrollment marketing priorities to create consistency between advertising, outreach, and the digital experience prospects encounter after clicking.
- Support testing and refinement of landing pages, calls to action, and content based on campaign needs and prospective student behavior.
- Assist with the execution of new campaigns and recruitment initiatives across multiple graduate programs and Executive Education offerings.
- Identify opportunities to reduce friction and improve conversion within campaign and landing-page experiences.

- Manage and publish events across website calendars and related program pages.
- Support pre- and post-event communications, including invitations, reminders, logistics, follow-up messages, and related digital content.
- Coordinate with recruitment and program teams to ensure event information, messaging, registration pathways, and calls to action are accurate across channels.
- Help improve the digital event journey from initial promotion and registration through attendance and follow-up.
Search, Content Optimization, & Emerging Digital Discovery
- Apply SEO best practices, including page structure, headings, metadata, internal linking, content organization, and question-based content.
- Structure content to improve visibility within traditional search engines and evolving AI-powered and conversational search experiences.
- Develop FAQ and question-based content that directly addresses prospective student information needs.

Content Quality & Portfolio Management

- Work with marketing, admissions, recruitment, program, design, faculty, and other stakeholders to gather, verify, and translate information into effective prospect-facing content.
- Track multiple concurrent requests and projects and ensure time-sensitive enrollment work is completed by required deadlines.
- Identify recurring content issues, process gaps, and opportunities to improve efficiency or the prospective student experience.
- Maintain familiarity with graduate programs and Executive Education offerings to understand how individual updates fit within broader recruitment and enrollment priorities.
- Proactively identify outdated or conflicting information rather than relying solely on incoming update requests.
- Identify opportunities to improve digital workflows, content organization, quality assurance, and production processes.
- Balance speed and responsiveness with the accuracy required for high-impact information such as tuition, admissions requirements, application deadlines, program format, and curriculum.
Additional Enrollment Marketing Support
- Support additional enrollment marketing projects as priorities and recruitment needs evolve.
- Assist with audience segmentation, campaign execution, communications calendars, prospective student outreach, and other enrollment initiatives.
- Support development and maintenance of digital marketing assets and recruitment resources used by admissions and recruitment teams.
- Coordinate with internal and external partners on enrollment-focused projects and deliverables.
- Provide project and production support to the enrollment marketing team as needed.
- Contribute to testing, process improvement, and new approaches that strengthen recruitment and enrollment efforts.

What We’re Looking For

You understand HTML well enough to diagnose and correct common formatting and display issues and can work confidently within established templates, components, and brand standards.
• Enrollment-minded: You understand that the goal is not simply to publish content or complete a request. The work should help prospective students discover programs, get their questions answered, take the next step, and ultimately enroll.
• Execution-focused: You take ownership of work and are comfortable managing a high volume of requests across multiple programs and channels. You move projects forward quickly, follow through, and maintain accuracy without creating unnecessary bottlenecks.
• Prospect-focused: You approach information from the prospective student’s perspective. You think about what someone needs to know, what may be confusing or missing, and what should happen next.
• Detail-driven: You catch inaccurate dates, broken links, inconsistent requirements, outdated information, formatting issues, unclear calls to action, and other problems that could affect the prospective student experience or enrollment efforts.
• Digitally fluent: You understand how websites, landing pages, email, CRM communications, search, digital campaigns, and recruitment activities work together throughout the prospect journey. You do not need to be an expert in every platform, but you should be comfortable learning and working across digital marketing systems.
• Responsive: You understand that enrollment marketing operates around application cycles, deadlines, recruitment events, campaign performance, and changing program needs. Priorities can shift quickly, and you are comfortable adjusting when they do.
• Self-directed: You can organize competing priorities, determine next steps, identify missing information, and move work forward without constant direction.
• Collaborative: You work effectively with enrollment marketing, admissions, recruitment, program teams, faculty, designers, and other partners while maintaining ownership of your responsibilities and deadlines.
• Curious and improvement-oriented: You do more than process requests. You ask questions, identify recurring problems, look for better ways to structure information and workflows, and recommend improvements to the prospective student experience.
• Adaptable: You are comfortable moving between website production, landing pages, email and CRM communications, campaigns, recruitment events, content optimization, and other enrollment marketing needs as priorities evolve.
