Head of Growth & Marketing

About the Opportunity A premium international school in Riyadh, part of a respected international education group, is seeking a Head of Growth & Marketing to lead its brand and commercial growth in one of the most dynamic education markets in the world. This newly created role offers full ownership of marketing in-country, backed by a group with a strong record of growing internationally and a brand that has earned its reputation through trust and quality. You will work alongside a sharp, forward-thinking leadership team that moves quickly and genuinely values ideas. For an ambitious marketer ready to own a market in their own right, it is a rare chance to build something visible, with real backing behind it. Responsibilities Reporting to senior management in Riyadh and supported by group headquarters, you will lead a lean local marketing team and own the strategy end to end. That spans brand positioning, campaign planning, media investment, digital and social performance, and the content that brings the brand to life. You will set clear growth targets, build the marketing engine to hit them, and read campaign and funnel data closely enough to know where to redirect spend. You will learn the market quickly, conducting your own analysis to size up the competition and spot the openings others miss. For a candidate with strong commercial instincts, the remit can extend further. There is scope to work with the commercial team on pricing and partnerships, to build relationships with corporates and government organisations that open new routes to growth, and to take on the full customer journey from first enquiry through to conversion and long-term retention. Requirements This will suit a bilingual Arabic and English marketer with a deep understanding of Saudi culture and community, and a strong record in integrated marketing within premium consumer services, whether in education, luxury hospitality, premium healthcare or a similar high-touch setting. You may already lead marketing for a brand or business unit, or be a senior manager ready to step up and take full ownership. You are analytical and commercially sharp, compete to win without ever cheapening the brand, and are as comfortable rolling up your sleeves as you are presenting strategy to leadership. Above all, you are curious, original and entrepreneurial, with the warmth to build trust easily across the community. Candidates based in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere in the Gulf are warmly welcome.
