Are you a passionate educator with a flair for scientific storytelling? Do you thrive on building meaningful connections and shaping the next generation of dental professionals?

At Colgate‑Palmolive, we are more than just a global leader in oral care; we are a science‑first partner dedicated to a healthier future. We are looking for an Education Manager to be the face of our brand within the academic community. This is a high‑impact, autonomous role where you will bridge the gap between classroom theory and clinical excellence, fostering lifelong brand advocacy from a student’s first day at university through to their professional career.

As our Education Manager, you will be the "Voice of the Student" and a critical scientific partner. Your mission is to drive trust and behavior adoption for Colgate’s Professional portfolio through world‑class education.

• Identify and nurture long‑term collaborative relationships with key faculty and student stakeholders across 44 Dental Schools in the UK and Ireland.
• Lead engaging, hands‑on workshops and high‑impact scientific presentations that bring our product innovations to life.
• Design networking events and community oral health initiatives that build authentic brand ambassadorship among dental students and young professionals.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams and external agencies to create "best‑in‑class" educational assets for our Professional Education Hub and social media channels.
• Act as a local expert, providing insights on market dynamics and student needs to our Scientific Affairs and Marketing teams.
• Manage the Advertising & Promotional (A&P) budget and leverage our digital ecosystem to track engagement and ROI.

You are a self‑motivated leader who enjoys the "theatre" of public speaking and the strategy behind relationship management. You are as comfortable analyzing data as you are facilitating a room full of aspiring dentists.

• Exceptional Communication: A natural ability to simplify complex scientific data into engaging, persuasive narratives.
• Relationship Mastery: A proven track record in stakeholder management and the ability to influence at all levels.
• Commercial Acumen:
  You understand the "why" behind the "what," ensuring every educational touchpoint drives value and measurable growth.
• Autonomy:
  You love the freedom of a field‑based role and have the organizational skills to manage a territory spanning the UK and Ireland.
• Analytical Mindset:
  Comfortable using digital tools and LMS data to refine strategies and report on performance.

You’ll be part of a collaborative, inclusive team that values your unique perspective. We offer the opportunity to work with cutting‑edge oral care science and a brand that is a household name worldwide. This role offers incredible visibility within the business and the chance to truly own the student engagement strategy for a global leader.
