Role Overview

As the Head of Community at Cambridge Spark, you will build and lead our community as a strategic layer sitting beneath everything we do. This role builds and convenes the community that connects our apprenticeship learners, our executive education learners, our clients and our wider audience: the events, the network, the exclusive access and the ongoing relationships that turn an audience into a membership.

This is a genuine professional community with real membership value, not a social channel or a comments section. You will own that layer end to end — feeding acquisition, deepening retention, and giving our published work a living, two-way counterpart.
