The role acts as the integrator of Marketing capability, identifying business needs, setting priorities and orchestrating delivery through school Marketing teams and specialist Marketing Hub capabilities. The Regional Marketing Manager is a hands‑on Marketing leader and expected to personally deliver work where appropriate but is not expected to replicate specialist Hub capabilities. The role identifies needs, sets priorities and brings together the right local/school and specialist capability to deliver the strongest business outcome.

Brand Positioning & Storytelling Own school positioning and school activation within the brand framework, ensuring differentiated propositions. Ensures USPs and proof points are translated into effective storytelling assets across priority parent touchpoints.

Word‑of‑Mind & Local Reputation Drive systematic local approaches to testimonials, reviews, advocacy, online reputation and shareable parent/student stories, escalating material reputational risks through agreed governance. Principal, Admissions & Regional Stakeholder Partnership Act as the primary Marketing partner to Principals, Admissions leaders and Regional Leadership for school marketing matters, communicating priorities, performance trade‑offs, recommendations and decisions required. School Marketing Team Leadership Manage, coach and support school Marketing specialists, helping them focus on high‑value local execution and capability improvement.
