The Role

London Business School is looking for a Head of Growth Marketing to lead how growth opportunities are identified, developed and scaled across the School's portfolio. You will lead an insight-led, future-focused growth approach, moving beyond traditional digital marketing to unlock new markets, audiences and propositions, and to embed a culture of experimentation and commercial impact. Working closely with the Executive Director, Product & Portfolio Marketing, the CMO and senior stakeholders across the School, you will shape and deliver a clear growth agenda that aligns with institutional priorities and long-term strategy. You will use data, customer insight and market intelligence to identify emerging opportunities, test and validate new ideas, and scale initiatives that drive sustainable growth across Degree Education, Executive Education and other priority areas.

This role operates at the intersection of strategy, insight and execution. You will champion a test-and-learn mindset, de-risking innovation while accelerating learning and performance, and ensuring growth initiatives deliver measurable outcomes in demand, pipeline and revenue. Acting as a connector across product, marketing, revenue and academic teams, you will align cross-functional effort around shared growth priorities and help future-proof the School's portfolio in a dynamic and competitive global landscape.

Main Responsibilities

• Lead the identification and validation of new growth opportunities through market intelligence, customer insight and data-driven analysis
• Develop and deliver an evidence-based growth strategy aligned to the School's five-year plan, remaining agile to changing market dynamics
• Drive the execution of growth initiatives with a clear focus on measurable commercial outcomes, including demand generation, pipeline quality and revenue impact
• Champion a test-and-learn approach to experimentation, de-risking innovation while accelerating learning and impact
• Partner closely with product, marketing, revenue and academic teams to align priorities and mobilise the right capabilities for growth
• Ensure strong alignment from strategy through to execution, working closely with the Executive Director, Product & Portfolio Marketing and senior stakeholders

Who We Are Looking For

• A commercially minded growth leader with a strong track record in growth strategy, marketing or commercial roles within complex organisations
• Proven ability to translate data, insight and market intelligence into clear growth hypotheses and actionable plans
• A confident influencer who can align and motivate cross-functional teams, often without direct authority
• An inclusive, curious and resilient leader, comfortable with ambiguity and driven by outcomes and continuous improvement
• Strong relationship-building skills, with experience partnering effectively across marketing, product, revenue and senior stakeholder groups
• An excellent communicator and storyteller, able to distil complex ideas into compelling narratives that drive understanding and action

Benefits You Can Enjoy

• USS pension, 14.5% employer contribution (in return for employee enrolment and contribution)
• Free onsite gym and swimming pool
• Amazing range of professional development to support your career path
