About IMP

At IMP we help Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) take control of their finances. Our MAT-first software is built by people who know the sector inside out. Former trust professionals, finance experts and product specialists are all part of our team. More than half of all MATs in the UK already use IMP to plan with confidence, simplify complex processes and make smarter decisions.

We’re proud to be independent, founder-led and growing fast. Alongside our award-winning products, we’ve built a culture we’re equally proud of. We are ranked as one of the UK’s Top 25 Great Places to Work for mid-sized companies. Respect, collaboration and personal growth sit at the heart of how we work. You’ll find flexibility, support and opportunities to develop here, alongside regular team socials and funded CPD.

The Role

This is a hands-on role for an experienced marketer who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is excited by real ownership across a broad and varied remit. You’ll bring together brand, events, customer engagement, and industry relationships, working closely with our Demand Generation Manager and Content Marketing Manager, while leading and developing a high-performing team of two direct reports.

We’re a close-knit, collaborative team that moves quickly and supports each other to do great work. We care deeply about the quality of what we produce, the relationships we build, and the impact we have, both for our customers and across the wider education sector. If you’re commercially minded and ready to make a meaningful mark, this is a fantastic opportunity to do just that.
