Position Overview
KU Marketing serves the University of Kansas and its many stakeholders by engaging external people for mutual benefit.

This role leads several key pieces of these exciting marketing opportunities and the resulting benefits to students, employees, Kansans and the members of our local and regional community.
KU’s director of partner services & digital engagement delivers in three key areas.
First, the role leads the team that is the primary interface between KU Marketing and its internal University of Kansas partners, including strategy development, planning, regular communications in support of the delivery of marketing services, and results tracking and reporting. KU Marketing is not a vendor or supplier to other KU units, but rather a strategic partner working toward shared goals. KU’s director of partner services & digital engagement and the strategists reporting to the role engage in strategy development and regular communications with partners. Those communications include proactive notifications and issue avoidance, work reviews and approvals, status updates, change requests, financial and labor budget statuses, and KPI and results reporting.
Second, the role oversees the execution of digital tactics in support of Marketing’s plans and partner goals. Vital to the success of partner relationships and strategy are execution, tracking, analysis and reporting. For that reason and others, the digital experience team reports to this role as do the analysts within KU Marketing. The digital marketing functions that report to this role include digital advertising, KU Marketing’s portion of CRM utilization and marketing automation, email production, website design and development, and search engine optimization.
