The opportunity:
This role is about shaping how an entire sector understands global education. We’re looking for a strategic thinker with a strong analytical backbone, someone who can synthesize data, policy, and market dynamics into clear points of view that influence decision-makers. Strong, digestible data storytelling is central to the work in order to drive insight generation, interpretation, and leadership: define what matters, why it matters, and how Apply Board should lead the conversation.
You’ll be responsible for developing strategic narratives rooted in research and analysis, then guiding a team to translate those insights into high-impact communications that influence institutions, governments, and industry partners.

Synthesize complex information into clear strategic perspectives, determining what (and why it) matters most to institutions, governments, and partners
Guide the creation of insight-led assets (eg., industry reports, research publications, executive briefs, and select long-form pieces), ensuring depth, credibility, and relevance over output volume
