FIND is partnering with a high-growth international education group to appoint a Chief Revenue Officer.
This is a significant Group-level appointment, reporting directly to the CEO and taking responsibility for the organisation’s complete revenue and growth strategy.
The CRO will bring together five major areas of the business - Education Partnerships, Commercial Partnerships, Student Recruitment, Marketing and External & Corporate Relations - creating one coordinated commercial engine across the Group.
The role will lead an established senior team which includes leaders across:
- Global Education Partnerships
- Commercial & Strategic Partnerships
- International Student Recruitment
- Marketing & Demand Generation

The mandate is substantial.
You’ll own the Group revenue plan, set multi-year growth targets across markets and channels, drive international enrolment growth, expand strategic partnerships and identify new routes to revenue.
