orientation, and civic engagement.

The Director of Student Recruitment will be based in Budapest, and

departments on their priorities, selection of target institutions for
student recruitment; organization of internal training and information
distribution.

universities, presentations at relevant professional conferences, etc.
- Preparation of the CEU recruitment/marketing materials and
maintenance of the "Prospective Students" web pages.
- Coordination of the work of CEU's network of local recruitment
partners and agents.
- Maintenance of a multi-channel communication for advertising:

lists; etc.

minimum of a Master's degree or equivalent, experience in student
recruitment or in marketing, strong interpersonal, communicative (both

technology as it relates to recruitment is expected. Previous study at
CEU is desirable but not a requirement. Salary will be competitive and
commensurate with qualifications and experience.
