RBO Schools Marketing Officer, Learning and Participation - WC2E 9DD in London

Permanent; Full Time

Salary: £33,500 per annum

Based in: Covent Garden, London

The Royal Ballet and Opera continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance both live on stage and through multiple digital platforms, from live streaming to worldwide cinema screenings. Our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera. The Royal Opera House describes the place we work, not who we are. The whole is always more than the sum of its parts – we may be a House, but three quarters of our audiences experience what we do outside this building. While our Covent Garden theatre is the nerve centre, the impact and influence of the organisation can be felt in every corner of the country, and around the world.

Learning and Participation (L&P) is central to RBO's mission of making the extraordinary for everyone. Our work in schools and communities up and down the country is driven by our free, curriculum linked programmes that give children the chance to be creative, experiencing high quality arts education throughout their school lives. We invest in teacher development for system change, drive innovation through digital learning and build a network of partnerships across the country and high levels of advocacy.

To help with our ambitious growth strategy, the team are looking to recruit a Marketing Officer, who will work closely with the Digital Marketing Manager to develop and implement organic, paid and email marketing campaigns for our school’s programmes.

An ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate:

• A proven track record in Digital Marketing with an understanding of critical success factors in a marketing campaign.
• Experience of devising organic and paid campaigns across multiple channels to promote events, products or services.
• Experience of using platforms and tools to deliver organic and paid campaigns on X and Meta is essential. Experience with TikTok and YouTube is desired.
• Experience of using CRMs and email marketing platforms and tools to deliver email campaigns.
• Experience of using data to report on, analyse and optimise campaigns to maximise effectiveness.
• Confidence and flair when writing creative marketing copy for a variety of audiences and marketing channels.
