We’re looking for someone who can thrive both independently and as a collaborative cross-functional partner, and who brings strong organisational skills, hands-on resourcefulness, and strategic thinking. To support growth in the UK, you will serve as a partner for our UK-based sales teams and develop and execute marketing programmes that support lead generation, customer retention, brand awareness, and more.

This role is based at our London office on Old Street. You’ll have the option to work from home one day per week.

• Create and execute field marketing campaigns to attract new customers
• Develop marketing collateral, email campaigns, and sales enablement resources
• Partner with our Events team to support marketing and sales events, including pre- and post-event outreach
• Gain a strong understanding of our audience/customer base at the school and trust level, with an emphasis on school administrator audiences
• Maintain an active pulse on market trends in the region

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• BA/BS degree and 7+ years of brand marketing, communications, and/or integrated marketing experience, including with consumer-facing brands
• Strategic thinking: You are able to take a set of goals and build short- and long-term plans and strategies to achieve them. You consider an idea from all angles, ask smart questions, and make thoughtful decisions that align with the company needs, values, and resources
• Written communication: You are an exceptional writer who knows how to clearly communicate a message and make every word count
• You get things done: You’re a self-starter, detail- and deadline-oriented, organised, and adaptable. You have the ability to manage complex, cross-functional projects from start to finish and rally stakeholders around a common goal
• Interpersonal skills: You’re a team player, have excellent verbal communication skills, and can successfully collaborate with colleagues across varied teams
• Customer-focused: You bring deep empathy for tutors, parents, students, and school administrators as well as the ability to balance business outcomes with customer outcomes
• Edtech knowledge: A working knowledge of the UK educational system and an aptitude to quickly learn about edtech and the UK tutoring space
• Experience in marketplace brands, edtech, and tools including Google Workspace and social media publishing preferred but not required
