About Us

At Arbor, we're on a mission to transform the way schools work for the better.

We believe in a future of work in schools where being challenged doesn't mean being burnt out and overworked. Where data guides progress without overwhelming staff. And where everyone working in a school is reminded why they got into education every day.

Our MIS and school management tools are already making a difference in over 7,000 schools and trusts. Giving time and power back to staff, turning data into clear, actionable insights, and supporting happier working days.

At the heart of our brand is a recognition that the challenges schools face today aren't just about efficiency, outputs and productivity - but about creating happier working lives for the people who drive education everyday: the staff. We want to make schools more joyful places to work, as well as learn.

About The Role

We are looking for a strategic Head of Customer Education to lead our Customer Education team and help us to support schools and help our customers realise the full potential of their MIS. The purpose of this role is to design a suite of professional services to support customers across training, consulting and administrative services.

• Develop a suite of services which will help set our customers up for success and drive their usage of Arbor MIS
• Develop business cases to launch new services including market research, resource requirements, pricing and margin
• Responsibility for delivering a professional service revenue target
• Delivering high customer satisfaction scores relating to delivery of services
• Line management of a team of 10, including two direct reports
• Accountability for the success and impact of the LMS
• Accountability for the success of our customers' learning journey encompassing a variety of learning styles and learning methods (including e-learning journeys, live training etc)
• Work in collaboration with the Product Team and champion the voice of the customer
• Ownership over the strategic direction of the team

• Solid experience in a SaaS business, understanding the customer lifecycle to drive product adoption, feature utilisation, and demonstrate value
• Strong leadership skills, capable of managing and mentoring a team of 10, fostering a collaborative environment, and owning the strategic direction of the team to achieve ambitious goals
• Excellent communication skills, articulating complex ideas clearly, championing the customer's voice, and crafting compelling business cases
• Proficient data analysis skills to understand customer behaviour, measure program effectiveness, and make data-driven decisions to improve satisfaction and usage
