The organisation and opportunity

ImpactEd Group exists to support our partners to make better decisions. We believe in putting high-quality data and evidence into the hands of system leaders and social impact organisations to drive better decision making, better allocation of resources and ultimately, better outcomes. Since being founded in 2017, ImpactEd has worked with thousands of schools and hundreds of organisations, serving more than a quarter of a million pupils annually.

One of the core ways we do this is through our ‘School Impact Platform’. Founded with the vision to support schools in evaluating the effectiveness of their strategies and interventions, we believe the time is now right for this platform to offer a sharper and more impactful service to school leaders. We are looking for an entrepreneurial Director, with a view to progressing into a Managing Director role, to oversee the next stage of product development and growth and ultimately lead SIP as a discrete business unit within the Group.

For someone with a deep understanding of the education sector, a good commercial sense and ambition to take on ownership of a business unit, this is a unique opportunity to shape the direction of a fast-growing social enterprise.     

About you

We are looking for an entrepreneurial leader with a vision for how our platform could be embedded in school cultures to guide evidence-informed decision making at all levels. We are open to a range of backgrounds for the role and are keen to hear from a range of applicants.

We are looking for some of the following attributes, though you might be more experienced in some areas than others: 

• Understanding and experience of the UK school system

• Experience of strategic leadership and people management 

• Track record in school business development, sales and marketing

• Experience in partnership management, stakeholder engagement and programme delivery 

• Experience in product and proposition development, particularly of digital products

Why us?

You would be joining a dynamic social enterprise with opportunities for significant development and progression in line with organisational growth. We invest in professional development, including an external mentor for every staff member, an individual CPD budget, and formal and informal training and support. We are committed to supporting mental wellbeing, and provide access to services including free health advice and access to therapy.
