Integrated Communications Manager

At Macmillan Learning, we’re committed to driving innovation that transforms education. We seek team members who thrive on pushing boundaries, envisioning future possibilities, and building solutions that make a lasting impact. Whether you’re a Pioneer shaping bold new ideas, a Builder turning possibilities into reality, or a Stabilizer optimizing for success, you’ll play a vital role in advancing our mission. If you’re excited by the prospect of testing new technologies, implementing transformative strategies, and thriving in a fast‑paced, innovative environment, we’d love to hear from you!

Macmillan Learning is reimagining how we communicate, from long reads to dynamic, visual stories that connect authentically and inform clearly. The Integrated Communications Manager will bring that transformation to life, overseeing how messages move through our ecosystem: from internal channels like company intranet and town halls to external spaces like Linked In, You Tube, and Instagram.

This role bridges creativity, production, and strategy. You’ll create engaging, visually‑led content and ensure it reaches the right audiences in the right way. You’ll manage key communications channels, experiment with new formats, and help make our company one of the most forward‑thinking communicators in education. If you think in stories and systems, can see a campaign in a headline, and want to shape how a brand speaks, this role is for you.

This role does not manage others.

We know that talented candidates sometimes hesitate to apply when they don’t meet every single qualification listed. We encourage you to apply if you’re excited about this role and believe you can contribute meaningfully to our team, even if your background doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement.

Different experiences, skills, and approaches all have the potential to strengthen what we do. If this opportunity interests you, we’d love to hear how your unique background and abilities could contribute to our team’s success. We’re committed to building a workplace where everyone can do their best work and where diverse viewpoints are valued. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply – we’re excited to learn about the different ways you might add value to our organization.
