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.

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 LinkedIn, YouTube, 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.
