Job Description

Brand and Content Manager

Remote (UK-based) | Full-time | Flexible working | Competitive salary + excellent benefits

You would be part of an innovative organisation working to support teachers and improve pupils’ access to quality education.

Oak is a fully remote, mission-driven organisation offering high levels of flexibility, autonomy, and purpose. We’re a national not-for-profit working in partnership with teachers to create the highest-quality, sequenced curriculum and lesson resources for pupils across all subjects and age groups.

Our culture has been independently recognised through:

  • Flexa verified (93% overall score, including 95% for working hours and 97% for role modelling)

  • Escape the City's Top 1% Employers – based on anonymous colleague reviews of culture, development, and impact

💡 About the Role

Ready to lead bold, creative brand marketing and make an impact in education? Oak National Academy is looking for a Brand and Content Manager to shape how we communicate with teachers and champion our mission.

You’ll plan and deliver standout campaigns, develop compelling content plans — from blogs to social to video — and build multi-channel brand awareness. With a clear editorial eye and data-driven mindset, you’ll ensure everything we create strengthens our brand and connects with our audience.

This is a hands-on, strategic role for someone who thrives on turning big ideas into brilliant content. If you’re passionate about purposeful work and know how to build a brand with impact, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Develop and deliver a comprehensive brand marketing plan, leading marketing campaigns and content plans that deliver Oak’s goals. 

  • Manage the creation of high-impact communications content (blogs, case studies, social content, videos) that enhance Oak’s brand and position us as experts in education.

  • Oversee Oak’s organic social media and content creator partnerships, to increase awareness and strengthen our brand messages.

  • As a member of the Oak Team, you will contribute to the wider success and culture of the organisation and support and role model our five values: create the right environment, be a great colleague, own your role but work for the team, make things happen, and keep getting better.

  • Work in cross-functional and product-oriented squads with colleagues from across the organisation, as required.

  • Deputise for the Lead School Support Manager and take on other general responsibilities as required.

    What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years experience in brand marketing management.

  • Proven success in collecting, analysing and using qualitative and quantitative data to measure and improve brand performance.

  • Extensive knowledge in content marketing and using editorial management to maintain a strong, engaging brand presence.

  • Proven success in growing audiences through organic social media channels and working collaboratively with content creators.

💛 Our Benefits

  • 25 days annual leave, plus one extra day for each year of service (up to 28)

  • Additional Oak closure days over Christmas/New Year

  • 11% employer pension contribution (with no minimum employee contribution)

  • A 36-hour working week, with half-days on Fridays or every other Friday off

  • Fully remote working — we’ll support your home set-up and offer coworking options if preferred

  • Termly in-person offsites to collaborate, connect, and have fun

  • A culture that genuinely supports flexibility, autonomy, and trust

🌈 Inclusion and Belonging

We believe diverse teams build better products. We warmly welcome applicants from all backgrounds, particularly those who are underrepresented in the tech and education sectors.

We use the Applied recruitment platform to help reduce bias in our hiring process. 

📌 Key Info

  • Location: Remote, but you must be based in the UK with the legal right to work here

  • Sponsorship: Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer visa sponsorship at this time

  • Closing date: We’ll be reviewing applications as they come in and may close the role early

If this sounds like the kind of role and team where you could do your life’s best work, we’d love to hear from you.
