International Manager
Central London (Hybrid – minimum one day per week in the office)

The Organisation

The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) is an independent charity dedicated to breaking the link between family income and educational achievement.

We do this by supporting schools, colleges, and nurseries to improve teaching and learning through better use of evidence. We generate research evidence on effective practice in supporting learning outcomes and narrowing the socioeconomic attainment gap, and we work with education professionals to ensure this evidence is applied to achieve the maximum possible benefit for children and young people.

The EEF’s reach and impact have been tremendous: the English education system is now one of the most evidence-informed in the world. Over half of state primary and secondary schools have taken part in an EEF-funded trial, and 70% of all school leaders use the Teaching and Learning Toolkit to inform their decision-making.

We are now looking for an International Manager to join us on a full-time, 18-month fixed-term contract basis, working from our Central London office on a hybrid basis (a minimum of one day per week in the office).

The Benefits

- Salary of £46,000 per annum
- Flexible working opportunities
- 27 days’ holiday a year (plus 8 bank holidays including 3 which can be taken flexibly)
- Pension matched with 6% employer contributions
- Life insurance cover
- Interest-free season ticket loan and cycle scheme
- Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave pay (conditions apply)
- Confidential Employee Assistance Programme
