Marlborough College Malaysia (MCM) is a fully coeducational independent British boarding and day school located in Iskandar Puteri, Malaysia, educating just over 1,000 pupils aged 3 to 18. The College has built an outstanding reputation, ranking among the top 10 schools in Southeast Asia in the Carfax Education Schools Index, featuring in the 2026 Spear's Schools Index of the world's top 100 private schools and holding COBIS Triple Beacon status in recognition of the strength of its safeguarding, pastoral care and leadership of well-being.
As a key strategic member of the Senior Leadership Team, the Second Master plays a crucial role in shaping the future of the College. MCM is a growing school on a very positive trajectory, and the appointee will arrive at a key moment to shape our ongoing development. This is a pivotal, wide-ranging role at the heart of College life, with responsibility for the smooth and effective day-to-day running of the College across its pastoral, academic and co-curricular dimensions.
The successful candidate will combine proven leadership experience in a senior role within a boarding school environment with the judgement, presence and emotional intelligence to lead with warmth and authority. Excellent organisational skills and the ability to bring clarity, structure and coherence to complex organisational environments is essential, as is boundless energy, good humour and flexibility.
