Ariel University is hiring a marketing-communications coordinator for its marcom team

The profession: a marketing-communications (marcom) coordinator

The marketing-communications field, or "marcom," ties together writing, design, digital and public relations to tell an organization's story. A marcom coordinator is a classic entry role for graduates of communications, marketing and the social sciences: writing messages, producing ads and landing pages, and coordinating with ad agencies and content suppliers. Per study.co.il, the salary of a marcom coordinator at the start of their career (0-3 years) ranges from about NIS 8,000-10,000 net a month, and a beginning marketing-content writer about NIS 6,500-8,000 net. Per AllJobs, the average salary for a marketing person is about NIS 12,706 (gross, an all-seniority average). The ranges show this is a reasonable starting point for a junior, with a clear rise as experience grows.

By the numbers

About the institution

Per Wikipedia, Ariel University was founded in 1982 as a regional branch of Bar-Ilan University, first in Kedumim and later in the city of Ariel. Over the years it became the largest public college in Israel, and in 2012 it was granted full university status (a vote on July 17, 2012 and official recognition in December 2012). Today it has about 17,000 students (as of 2025), offering bachelor's, master's and doctoral studies across 26 academic departments organized into three faculties and three schools. The university's president is Prof. Ehud Grossman and its rector is Prof. Albert Pinhasov.

In Israel and abroad

Ariel is Israel's youngest public university and the only one located in Judea and Samaria - a fact that has also made it a focus of public debate. Per Wikipedia it has academic cooperation agreements with more than 51 higher-education institutions worldwide, while at the same time, because of its location, it was excluded from the EU's Horizon 2020 funding program and has been a target of boycott calls. Within this system, the Marketing and Spokesperson Division is the voice that tells the university's story - and the marketing-communications coordinator role is a central part of that machine: it is what produces the content and materials that reach applicants, students and the public.

How the role works

Per the listing, the role includes creating marketing messages, publications and marketing writing for various platforms; producing digital and print marketing materials; managing, supervising and overseeing marketing projects under the department's responsibility; providing marketing and advertising solutions for dedicated events and activities; ongoing work with ad agencies, content suppliers and professional parties; producing ads for the press and other media; and characterizing, planning and building landing pages, including thinking about messages, structure and user experience. Requirements: a bachelor's degree or certified practical engineer (an advantage for communications, marketing or adjacent graduates), high creativity and marketing thinking, strong written and spoken expression, working with many interfaces in a computerized environment, working under pressure and multitasking, and good command of Office software. Experience building landing pages, conversion-focused writing and UX understanding are an advantage.

Who it is for

For a graduate of communications, marketing, the social sciences or the humanities who likes to write, think creatively and lead a project from idea to finished product. Since no experience is required, it is a good opportunity for someone who has finished a degree and wants a real entry into the marcom world within a large, organized institution. It is worth taking into account the location in Ariel and the commute it involves. The role is open to women and men alike.

Responsibility for creating content, producing marketing materials and managing projects end to end (from the job description).

An honest status

It is a full-time role defined as requiring no experience, but the requirements body in practice asks for several practical skills (marketing writing, understanding of landing pages and UX), some listed as an "advantage" - so anyone who has accumulated some experience in writing or digital will stand out. The listing does not state a wage, and the field's ranges point to a relatively modest start for a junior. On the other hand, it is an organized entry into the marcom world at a large academic institution, with a variety of tasks (writing, production, projects, landing pages) that builds a real portfolio. The geographic location in Ariel should be taken into account.
