Chief Marketing Officer

at  University of Oxford

Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford blends the best of new and old. We are a young, vibrant and entrepreneurial business school deeply embedded in the world’s most prestigious university. We deliver cutting-edge education and ground-breaking research that transform individuals, organisations, business practice and society. Our degree programmes and short executive education programmes seek to challenge traditional perspectives and produce powerful ideas. Our vibrant academic community has produced excellent and impactful research for decades in areas such as AI, accountability and trust in business and institutions, sustainable development, senior executive leadership, and emerging technologies such as fintech or augmented/virtual reality. We develop future leaders, who go into business with purpose, and make real impact. This is mission critical, because only then can business make meaningful impact on the world – the kind of impact that helps address the most pressing issues of our day, from the climate crisis to the AI revolution.
Saïd Business School has laid out an ambitious strategic plan aiming to position itself as one of the top business schools globally, particularly striving to be among the top three in Europe. The strategy is centred on excelling in three core areas: research, programmes, and impact, with robust brand development and sustainable financial and operational foundations underpinning these efforts.
As the School looks to grow, the demands on marketing will increase. We are now seeking to recruit to the newly established position of Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). The CMO will be responsible for overseeing the strategic planning, development and execution of the School’s marketing, media and communications activities. They will bring a demonstrable track record of leading a multifaceted and complex MarComms function, ideally with exposure to a Higher Education / Business School environment alongside industry and commercial experience. They will have strong digital marketing expertise, a commitment to our mission and values, and the intellectual and strategic ability to work within a world-leading academic environment.
