You will be the main point of contact for all Marcomms inquiries from a range of audiences, including current and prospective parents, internal staff, and external stakeholders, so you will act as a highly professional brand ambassador for the School. This is a senior level role, and we are looking for an experienced candidate to bring a wealth of knowledge, skills, experience, and enthusiasm to the team.
