  • Vendor & Agency Coordination : Manage relationships with external designers, videographers, and creative agencies to uphold brand quality and consistency.
  • Design Governance : Understand and maintain brand guidelines, toolkits, and templates to ensure consistent usage across all stakeholders.
  • User Experience Thinking : Bring in a user-first mindset to communication design across parent journeys, school visits, digital presence, and other experience touchpoints.
  • Digital Literacy & Technical Proficiency : Demonstrate proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and a strong understanding of digital platforms and tools for content distribution (e.g., social media, websites) to effectively reach and engage the school community.
  • Innovation & Trends : Stay up to date with design, branding, and education marketing trends to keep our communication fresh, relevant, and forward-looking.
