Commercial Manager

King Edward s School, Bath, is seeking applications for its newly created Commercial Manager role. The Commercial Manager will be responsible for the development and implementation of an ambitious strategy to generate income from a range of commercial offerings.

We have a vision that the School s estates are being utilised at all points of the year in a way which is respectful and complementary to the School s needs and where the income generated contributes directly and materially to the School s overall purpose - that through an outstanding all-round education, King Edward s pupils acquire the tools and the confidence to flourish and be happy today and to be ready for whatever the future may hold.

The funds raised from the School s commercial offerings will also directly contribute to our Bursary commitment to support children whose families are not able to meet the school fees. As we approach our 475th Anniversary we have an ambition to expand our Bursary Fund so that any child offered a place at the Senior School can attend regardless of their family s financial circumstances.

The successful candidate will have a proven track record of developing and implementing an ambitious commercial strategy, operating at a senior level within an organisation and with experience of engaging with a wide range of stakeholders, including senior staff, governors, parents and external charities and businesses.

We recognise that this experience may be from sectors other than the education sector and would be delighted to receive applications from individuals which demonstrate the transferable nature of their skills and experiences to the education sector in general, and to King Edward s School specifically

This position is a permanent full-time role, working 37 hours per week Monday to Friday, all year round. We would consider part-time applicants wishing to work 0.8 FTE or above. This position would be further enhanced by the School s generous staff benefits package which includes school fee remission.
