About the IB: The International Baccalaureate provides world-class educational services to over 6,000 schools across more than 160 countries. A career with the IB is not just a job; it's an opportunity to work with an innovative world leader in education services where we empower our employees to thrive and make a difference.
About the Role: The International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) has set itself a strategic goal that it will, by 2032, enrich the education of 5 million young people per year from more globally representative communities in ways that enable human and planetary flourishing.
Responsibilities: The Department of Marketing & Communications plays a key role in supporting the expansion of the IBO's reach and impact, promoting its thought leadership, programs, services, and community initiatives to contribute to narrowing the learning gaps worldwide. The Head of Stakeholder Communications leads the team that oversees communications directed towards schools and the wider IB community of stakeholders, including, but not limited to, teachers, administrators, students, and higher education institutions. It also leads our efforts to communicate with school groups, districts and systems, as well as our work with universities and other external education partners. This requires proactively keeping stakeholders informed across a wide range of relevant topics, including planned updates on operational matters such as assessments and results, as well as changes to what is happening, when, and why.
Additional responsibilities: The role also provides schools with the messaging, tools and resources they need to plan and keep their own communities, including students and parents, informed of IB-related developments and how changes to teaching, learning and assessment will improve the IB educational experience.
