Description

Few opportunities in marketing allow you to combine creative leadership with the chance to influence the reputation of one of the UK’s eminent independent schools. At Uppingham, we are seeking an accomplished Head of Marketing to guide the strategic direction of our communications and strengthen the way we share our story with families, staff, alumni and the wider community.

In this role, you will sit at the heart of our future success, leading a talented team to deliver campaigns, publications, digital content and events of the highest professional standard. Working closely with our Chief Communications Officer and senior leadership team, you will ensure our profile remains distinctive, compelling and aligned to our strategic priorities. Your remit will be broad and influential: from brand management and communications to community engagement and admissions, every aspect of your work will help sustain Uppingham’s reputation for excellence.

About you

We are looking for a senior marketing professional with proven leadership experience, exceptional creative judgement and a strong track record of brand development. You will bring confidence in managing multi-channel campaigns, the ability to analyse insight and translate it into effective strategy, and the personal credibility to engage with stakeholders at every level. Just as important will be your resilience, diplomacy and collaborative spirit, which will enable you to inspire colleagues, motivate your team and thrive in a fast-paced, values-driven environment.
