SUMMARY
In the heart of San Diego stands Francis Parker School, a forward-thinking, nationally acclaimed independent school brimming with energy, determination, and vision. Each day, over 1,300 students from JK through grade 12, along with hundreds of faculty and staff, arrive at Parker’s two large campuses. Over the last 20-plus years, the school has undertaken a nearly $125M capital campaign to transform the Linda Vista Campus, which houses the middle and upper school students. Soon, a similar campaign will begin for the historic Mission Hills Campus, which contains Parker’s elementary school. Parker is devoted to providing an innovative program to its diverse student body, and with such dynamic projects in progress, Parker’s marketing and communication efforts are paramount to its future. Parker is poised to welcome later this summer a new marketing and communications head who is highly responsive, visionary, and collaborative to set and execute Parker’s communication strategy for internal and external audiences.
The head of marketing and communications is a crucial member of the 14-member Parker Leadership Team (PLT). Reporting to the assistant head of school for external relations, the head of marketing and communications leads and mentors a fast-paced department of six creative professionals and acts as the point of contact for public relations. Upon arrival, this individual will be immediately enveloped in a team of committed leaders, enthusiastic families, and high-achieving students.
