  • Review and benchmark creative output, quality, and team capability to identify improvement areas
  • Raise creative standards across concepts, art direction, and video production
  • Introduce clearer structure around creative testing, development, and experimentation
  • Create practical best-practice guidance to improve consistency and quality over time
  • Coach and mentor the creative manager and team with clear progression milestones

Requirements:

  • 7+ years’ experience in a senior creative or creative leadership role
  • Proven experience working with performance marketing teams in a D2C environment
  • Experience overseeing high-volume video and design output
  • Strong commercial judgement and understanding of creative performance
  • Confident advisor and coach, able to guide and mentor teams
What we offer:
  • The chance to make a real impact: your work directly shapes the future of education
  • A fast-paced and high-growth environment where ideas move quickly and careers accelerate
  • A collaborative, supportive culture: we’re head quartered in the UK, but we’re a global team with colleagues in 15+ countries, bringing a rich mix of perspectives and energy
