Your purpose

To support school recruitment by analysing school and trust data, identifying areas of opportunity, and holding early conversations to understand context and check alignment with our membership criteria. You will qualify leads, progress straightforward opportunities, and help ensure schools receive clear information and timely follow-up. Your insight will support targeted campaigns, pipeline planning, and a smooth route into membership.

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who combines thoughtful desk-based research with strong interpersonal skills, and who enjoys turning insight into focused, well-judged outreach. You’ll be confident speaking to schools and trusts, able to understand their context quickly, and comfortable moving from analysis to action.

Your responsibilities

Speaking to schools and trusts 

• Hold early conversations with schools and trusts, using insight as a starting point but leading with curiosity, listening carefully to their situation and getting quickly to the heart of whether there is a good fit.

• Act as a thoughtful first point of contact, helping schools understand Voice 21 and decide whether joining is right for them, rather than pushing them through a process.

• Progress opportunities through the early stages of the pipeline, moving confidently from research to conversation to action.

• Keep pipeline information up to date, recording what matters (context, motivations, concerns, next steps) so schools experience a joined-up and professional journey.

• Nurture early interest by sharing useful information, answering questions clearly, and booking follow-ups at the right moment.

Supporting Business Development through research and segmentation

• Turn data and insight into practical targeting decisions, building named lists of schools and trusts connected through MATs, clusters, Teaching School Hubs or local networks, so outreach is intentional rather than broad.

• Use research to shape how we approach schools, tailoring messaging and timing so conversations feel relevant to their context and priorities.

• Carry out focused desk-based research using school and trust data (GIAS, DfE, FSM/IMD, MAT structures, regional insight) to help us decide where to focus our time and energy.

• Share insight with colleagues, including patterns emerging from both the data and conversations with schools.

• Support events and outreach activity by helping identify who to invite, shaping follow-up, and ensuring learning feeds back into future targeting.

• Take on practical research and follow-up work that enables senior colleagues to focus on larger MATs, strategic partnerships and more complex opportunities.

Your progression 

 
Within 1 month, you’ll have:

• Understood our segmentation logic and data sources, and started to have ideas of how to support this work.

• Begun supporting early outreach with named schools and trusts.

• Held your first qualification calls (supervised and supported).

• Met colleagues across Growth, Programmes, and Events.

Within 3 months, you’ll have:

• Created lists of priority schools and groups based on need and opportunity.

• Shared insights that support targeted campaigns.

• Managed a steady set of early-stage conversations.

 Within 6 months, you’ll have:

• Helped progress a number of schools through to joining.

• Provided useful insight that shapes where we focus.

• Supported regional or trust-level activity.

• Helped build a warm list of schools not yet ready to join.

From 6 months onwards, we expect you to be:

• Confident working with education data and context.

• Managing the early pipeline smoothly and accurately.

• Sharing patterns and opportunities with colleagues.

• Helping ensure that schools have a clear, positive experience of Voice 21 from first contact.

This job is for you if...

• You are comfortable working with data and spreadsheets.

• You enjoy speaking with external stakeholders, can ask great questions, and understand the impact of their answers.

• You are comfortable learning new systems and working with digital tools like CRMs.

• You can organise information clearly and keep things moving.

• You like spotting patterns and making helpful recommendations.

• You are curious, friendly and motivated by helping schools take part.

• You enjoy both independent work and being part of a small, collaborative team.

Who you’ll work with: 

• As part of our Operations Directorate, you’ll work in the Growth team with our Head of Growth, Marketing Lead, and Senior Business Development Lead.

• You’ll work closely with our Events, Comms, and Programmes teams as well as the wider Ops Directorate.
