Marketing Specialist

The role
You’ll own the Manifest Global group brand day to day: how the group is positioned, how it communicates, and how its brands sit together. This is a hands-on role for someone who can write well, think in systems, and work with senior leaders without needing a big team around them.

What you’ll do

• Maintain and evolve the group brand architecture and guidelines, defining how Manifest and its portfolio brands relate visually and verbally.
• Own group-level channels, including the Manifest website and LinkedIn presence, with a clear content calendar and consistent voice.
• Lead corporate communications: acquisition and partnership announcements, press releases, leadership messaging, and internal announcements with the Talent team.
• Build thought leadership for the executive team, including LinkedIn content, conference talks, and presentation materials.
• Produce group-level collateral for partnerships, institutional relationships, and investor-facing materials, working with Finance and Strategy.
• Support group presence at industry events and conferences, from pre-event positioning to follow-up content.
• Partner with the Talent team on employer brand so external and talent messaging stay aligned.
• Coordinate with brand marketing leads so portfolio brands stay consistent with group standards without slowing their execution.
• Track brand and channel performance and report what’s working in plain terms.

What you bring

• 3 to 5 years in brand, corporate communications, or marketing, ideally with B2B, edtech, or multi-brand exposure (agency experience counts).
• Excellent written English. You can draft a press release, an exec LinkedIn post, and a brand guideline in the same week, each in the right register.
• A strong visual eye and working proficiency in Canva or Figma; you can brief designers and also execute yourself.
• Comfort working directly with senior leaders and managing competing requests across countries and time zones.
• Sound judgment with confidential information.
• Active use of AI tools in your workflow, and the judgment to know where they help and where they don’t.

Nice to have

• Communications experience during fundraising, M&A, or rapid scale-up.
• Exposure to markets across APAC, India, Europe, or the Middle East.
• Background in education, higher education, or international student recruitment.

What success looks like in your first six months

• A refreshed group brand guideline adopted across the portfolio.
• A consistent, regular Manifest presence on LinkedIn and the website.
• A repeatable process for announcements, from draft to approval to publication.
• Brand leads seeing you as a resource that helps them, not a checkpoint that slows them down.
