The Opportunity Engagement is becoming central to how school leaders think about improvement. The 2026 White Paper reframed it as a lead indicator of school improvement. Ofsted's new framework gives it weight. MAT CEOs and headteachers increasingly want termly data they can act on, and TEP is built to provide exactly that. We have a strong foundation in the North of England, as a region with some of our founding partners, including Outwood Grange Academies Trust, The Education Alliance, BDAT and Pathfinder were among our Research in the Commission for Engagement and a Lead Indicator and we are proud to still have in our community. However, there is still substantial appetite across the North for TEP to give trust and school leaders precision they can act on. There is a pipeline of interested trusts. And there is real opportunity to shape a regional story (events, flagship partnerships, local authority engagement) that compounds as partnerships grow. The Regional Director will own that opportunity and lead business development in the region. You'll be building on a proven product and a credible research base, and joining at the point where regional presence matters most. Early work will focus on opening new partnerships at trust level, stewarding a small number of strategic relationships with sector bodies and Teaching School Hubs, and establishing TEP as a trusted voice in the region. What you'll inherit A proven platform and service offer. Validated by 600+ UK schools, designed around the rhythms of the school year, supporting school leaders across the country. Support from our Partnerships Director. Working closely with Jess Easton, Director of Partnerships and Insights, who is actively involved in regional strategy, as well as support from our Regional Director (Agnes Fitzpatrick) who works in the South of England. Partnerships team support. A Marketing function, a Community team handling delivery, and colleagues across ImpactEd Group opening doors. Early pipeline to build on. Warm conversations with trusts in the region, and a growing profile in the sector to build on. Real commercial ambition. Clear termly targets, a performance-related pay structure, and the opportunity of employee shares through EMI. A base in Leeds. A vibrant, accessible city-centre office two minutes from Leeds station, in the heart of the tech hub of the north. The role You'll lead TEP's growth and business development across the North of England: opening new partnerships with schools and trusts, stewarding strategic relationships with sector bodies, and shaping how TEP shows up in the region. You'll have real autonomy, backed by a Director who's hands-on with strategy, a growing marketing function, and the research weight of ImpactEd Group behind you. There are three main areas of responsibility: Winning new partnerships: Lead new business across the North of England, opening conversations with schools and trusts, converting them into partnerships, and delivering against termly targets. Growing strategic partnerships: Steward the region's highest-value partnerships (typically Teaching School Hubs, sector bodies, or place-based local authority partnerships), leading the relationship and evidencing TEP's impact. Contributing to TEP more broadly: Feed regional intelligence into TEP's business planning: where the growth is, where the risks are, and help embed scalable ways of working. About you We are open to a range of backgrounds, though it is likely the successful candidate will have significant experience working in or closely with schools and education, and experience in selling products or developing partnerships with school leaders. This role offers hybrid working, with 3 days per week in the office or on the road. You should be willing to travel across the North of England for partner meetings, conferences and events (approximately 50% of your time), with occasional UK-wide travel. What you'll need Experience working within or closely with UK schools, Local Authorities and multi-academy trusts, ideally with an existing network across Northern England A demonstrable track record in partnership development, account management, or educational sales Experience presenting to a senior education leaders (Headteachers, CEOs, Directors) A strong understanding of school budgeting cycles and decision-making processes Experience delivering presentations or public speaking. What will set you apart Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to develop compelling value propositions Entrepreneurial, pragmatic and solution-focused: you can think on your feet and adapt to change Comfortable with targets while maintaining a relationship-focused approach Self-motivated, with a consultative rather than transactional sales approach A clear passion for improving school engagement and supporting school leaders Excited to join a young organisation and help shape its growth in the coming years We are an ambitious team incubated and supported by ImpactEd Group. The role would be employed by TEP Services Limited.
