About Ipswich School - we are one of the foremost independent schools in East Anglia and are proud to be regularly ranked as Suffolk's top independent School.

The School comprises a Senior School with over 880 pupils aged from 11 to 18, and the Prep School with 230 pupils aged from 5 to 11.

You will have significant experience of managing a marketing, sales or customer care function in a relevant environment.

This is a role that requires great vision, intelligence, creative flair, attention to detail, strong leadership skills, high levels of organisation, and a willingness and ability to plan strategically and ensure delivery. You will have excellent communication skills, the ability to build fruitful and positive relationships with a broad range of people, and the ability to galvanise key stakeholders.

• The starting salary for this role will be up to £50,000 per annum, and will depend on your skills and experience.
