Head of Brand & Content

About us At Arbor, we’re on a mission to transform the way schools work for the better. We believe in a future of work in schools where being challenged doesn’t mean being burnt out and overworked. Where data guides progress without overwhelming staff. And where everyone working in a school is reminded why they got into education every day. Our MIS and school management tools are already making a difference in over 10,000 schools and trusts. Giving time and power back to staff, turning data into clear, actionable insights, and supporting happier working days. At the heart of our brand is a recognition that the challenges schools face today aren’t just about efficiency, outputs and productivity - but about creating happier working lives for the people who drive education everyday: the staff. We want to make schools more joyful places to work, as well as learn.

About the role We are looking for a Head of Brand and Content to take ownership of how the Arbor brand exists in the world. This is not just about maintaining guidelines; it is about architecture and perception. You will define how our "house of brands" fits together, how we integrate acquired companies from a brand point of view, and how we position ourselves to investors and customers alike. You will lead a high-performing function comprising Content, Events, and Brand, with the potential to absorb Community management in the future. We need a strategic brain to build the framework and a creative soul to fill it with world-class storytelling.

Requirements Brand architecture expert: You have proven experience managing a complex "house of brands" or "hybrid" brand architecture. M&A: You have successfully navigated the brand complexities of M&A and integrations. Content leader: You have run a content function that drives measurable demand. You understand the link between a whitepaper and a qualified lead. B2B pedigree: You have deep experience in B2B (SaaS/Tech preferred), understanding complex buying cycles and multiple personas. Corporate comms: You are comfortable handling PR, investor relations messaging, and crisis comms. Strategic and creative: You can spend the morning modelling brand hierarchy scenarios and the afternoon critiquing a video script for tone of voice. Brilliant writer: You can create copy that shines, and know how to confidently help others improve their writing too. Visual literacy: While you may not be a designer, you have an excellent eye for design and can direct a creative team to produce premium work. Commercial acumen: You understand that brand serves the business. You can speak the language of sales and executives.
