Digital and Content Lead

Are you a creative digital professional who enjoys shaping engaging content and improving online experiences? Do you thrive when working independently while collaborating with stakeholders across a complex organisation? Signature Recruitment is delighted to be recruiting for a Digital and Content Lead (Interim) on behalf of a London university.

This is a 6-month interim opportunity with the potential to extend, offering £26.51 per hour plus holiday pay. The role is based in London with hybrid working, 9–5 for 35 hours per week. Core office days are Tuesday and Thursday, with flexibility to attend additional days when required.

You will join a supportive Internal Communications team with over 1,000 staff. Working closely with colleagues across communications, marketing, stakeholder engagement and IT, you will play a key role in strengthening digital channels and internal messaging. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys autonomy, brings strong creative flair, and understands the pace and priorities of higher education. You will have the space to generate ideas, suggest improvements and deliver practical solutions that support a student-focused environment.
