Business Development and Relations Senior Manager

Business Development and Relations Senior Manager
 
GESS is creating a high-visibility, commercially focused role to drive enrolment growth across both the German Curriculum and the English IB Programme. The Senior Manager will be an external ambassador, building relationships with European embassies, chambers of commerce, corporate HR and mobility teams, and with the social clubs of Singapore’s community, turning them into applications and enrolments.
The role works alongside GESS’s existing Admissions and Marketing teams, not in place of them. This role builds relationships and generates qualified demand. Events and campaigns are co-planned and co-delivered alongside Admissions and Marketing.
