Music Mark

Music Mark is the UK Association for Music Education, a subject association representing over 500 organisations and individuals across the UK, including music services, schools, universities, arts organisations, industry partners and resource providers. At a time of significant change for education and the arts, we are seeking a new Chief Executive to lead the organisation into its next phase of influence and impact. As Chief Executive Officer, you will be the public face and strategic leader of the organisation. You will shape a new organisational strategy, strengthen Music Mark's national influence and build effective relationships with government departments, cultural bodies, funders and sector partners. You will represent the membership at the highest levels and advocate persuasively for a high-quality, inclusive music education for all children and young people. We are looking for a credible and collaborative leader with senior experience in education, public policy, the cultural sector or a related field. You will be an outstanding communicator and relationship-builder, comfortable engaging with ministers, civil servants, cultural leaders and practitioners alike. Most importantly, you will bring a strong commitment to equity, access and the value of music in the lives of children and young people. This is a rare opportunity to shape national thinking and policy in music education and to support a sector that directly benefits hundreds of thousands of young people across the UK. Music Mark is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from candidates from all backgrounds and communities.
