Director Of Growth Marketing

Director Of Growth Marketing

Rocksteady Music School is the UK’s largest rock and pop school. We teach fun and inclusive in-school band lessons to primary age children. Our mission is simple: to amplify children’s self-belief and remove barriers to music education. We’re currently in thousands of schools in the UK, teaching tens of thousands of children every week – and we’re growing fast.

Our beautifully converted manor house in rural Liphook is home to many of our central office teams. From there, we all play our part in supporting our band leaders to reach as many children as possible with their lessons. That’s what gets us out of bed in the morning.

This role will lead the Head of B2B Marketing and the Head of Employer Brand to efficiently meet performance targets, amplify the Rocksteady brand, generate high-quality partnerships, and drive measurable, scalable growth.
