Sitting within the central team and reporting into the Global Lead for Extracurricular Activities, this person will work at the intersection of project management and commercial performance ensuring schools launch and operate effectively while also driving meaningful improvements in extracurricular revenue and margins.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Commercial:

- Design and roll out a growth program to increase extracurricular activity revenue and improve margins across the school network

- Manage global partnerships and supplier relationships for extracurricular activities
