Located on Al Reem Island, our purpose-built campus brings together talented educators and professionals who share a commitment to making everyday count.

About The Role

As Director of Admissions & Marketing (DAM), you’ll be a member of the school Senior Leadership Team (SLT) with prime responsibility for driving student enrolment.

You’ll do this by ensuring families receive an exceptional experience at each stage of their journey with our school – from awareness and consideration, through to enrolment and advocacy. We call this our Family Experience Journey, and everything we do in MAC (Marketing, Admissions and Communications) revolves around this.

To deliver an exceptional family experience each and every time, you’ll need to forge great relationships with colleagues from across the school, so that everyone is working together to achieve our vision.

As an exceptional leader of people, you’ll coach and develop the commercial, creative and customer-orientated skills of your team, and be a consummate ambassador for the school brand. As a DAM, you’ll also play a pivotal role in building the school community and reputation.
