School Account Manager

Are you a teacher looking for your next challenge in a dynamic and growing organisation? The Oxbridge Applications team are currently recruiting for a School Account Manager to maintain relationships with client schools, lead exemplary events for students and deliver the commercial strategy to grow the business in this department. 

Using your own experience of applying to either Oxford or Cambridge, as School Account Manager you will proactively engage with teachers and schools in the state and independent sectors, as well as internationally to plan, promote and deliver effective support programmes for students’ applications to competitive universities. You will manage schools’ academic needs and deliver bespoke educational services and events in schools. Working in a company that is dedicated to excellence in academia and supporting bright young people to achieve success, a large part of the work is face-to-face consultancy working with teachers and their students and helping them to develop confidence. You will take the lead on product development of future programmes, products and academic resources and work on strategy alongside the senior management team to promote our services to schools both in the UK and internationally to maximise growth in this area of the business. You will work with the Events team to deliver outstanding services to schools around the world, as well as present and run workshops to parents, students and teachers. This role allows you to utilise your commercial knowledge but also play a vital role in the success of schools’ in-house academic programmes. You will see the tangible and rewarding impact of your work and receive full training and opportunity for further professional development.
