Digital Content Project Manager
Purpose of the role
The Digital Content Project Manager plays a critical role in delivering the International Schools Partnership’s (ISP) School Website Enrolment Project (SWEP) — a large-scale digital initiative that brings together over 100 schools onto a shared platform, while celebrating the unique story of each.
With strategy, structure and processes already in place, this role is focused on execution. You will be responsible for ensuring that every school website is delivered on time, to standard, and in a way that supports enrolment outcomes. You will coordinate across internal editors, project support, school leaders, regional marketing teams, and our Milan-based vendor to move each site through the agreed workflow — unblocking challenges, safeguarding quality, and maintaining clear visibility across the programme.
This is a delivery leadership role that requires high editorial standards, strong stakeholder coordination, and a clear grasp of what makes content impactful for families. You will ensure that all school sites reflect their individual character while aligning with ISP’s brand tone, purpose and value proposition — helping families find the information they need quickly and confidently.
