  • Oversee SEO and SEM strategies to enhance online visibility and improve search rankings for all digital assets.
  • Manage website content updates, performance analytics, user experience enhancements, either directly or through appointed vendors to ensure optimal functionality.
  • Leverage data insights from tools like Google Analytics and Meta Insights to assess campaign performance and refine tactics for better results.
  • Ensure brand consistency across all visual and written communications by creating engaging content for social media channels, newsletters, blogs, press releases, and promotional materials.

  • Work alongside the Sales Manager to generate leads through targeted campaigns and events while tracking conversion metrics from lead generation through to enrolment.

Your background should include hands-on involvement with digital campaign planning across major platforms alongside deep familiarity with analytics tools used for measuring impact. You are adept at maintaining brand consistency while producing high-quality written materials tailored for different audiences—from prospective parents to local media partners.
Your interpersonal strengths allow you to collaborate seamlessly not only with creative professionals but also internal stakeholders such as teachers or students whose stories enrich the brand narrative. A keen eye for detail ensures accuracy in all communications while your organisational abilities enable you to juggle multiple projects without compromising quality or deadlines.

Above all else, your commitment to nurturing relationships—both inside the organisation and out—will be vital in expanding its reach throughout Penang’s thriving educational ecosystem.

  • A minimum of five years’ proven experience in marketing roles—ideally within an international or national education setting—demonstrating your ability to deliver results in similar environments.

  • Experience overseeing SEO/SEM strategies aimed at improving online visibility coupled with hands-on management of website content updates or vendor coordination.
  • Ability to multitask efficiently while managing deadlines in a fast-moving environment; bringing a proactive approach combined with a collaborative spirit within small teams.
  • Track record of building positive relationships with external partners including educational consultants, agents, media representatives or community organisations.
  • Strong interpersonal skills enabling effective collaboration across departments—including working closely with sales teams on lead generation initiatives tied directly to admissions goals.
  • Creative flair for developing engaging content tailored for various audiences across social media channels as well as traditional communication formats such as newsletters or press releases.
