Global Education Manager

A job with Merlin isn’t like a job anywhere else. With attractions around the world, from rollercoasters to wax figures, we don’t trade in suits, handshakes or briefcases. We trade in fun. In smiles, shrieks and spine-tingles. In Memories. In amazing discovery. In magic. But there are no tricks behind our magic. Instead, there are people like you. Passionate, dedicated people who are committed to making sure our worldwide attractions and guests’ experiences are the best they can be.

Due to continuing growth and development of Merlin’s attractions and brands on a global scale, we are looking for a Global Education Manager to join our Conservation, Welfare & Education* team on a permanent basis. The role can be based at multiple SEA LIFE or Merlin sites globally, with a hybrid element for those looking for more flexibility.

Join us as the Global Education Manager at SEA LIFE, where you'll spearhead the creation and oversight of cutting-edge strategies for impactful learning, discovery, and conservation education across our network. Be at the forefront of driving education and community engagement to fulfill SEA LIFE's mission in safeguarding our oceans, lakes, and rivers.

Your role will involve crafting a global strategy for learning and conservation, overseeing existing programs, and introducing new initiatives for successful strategy implementation. Dive into the development of metrics to assess program success, ensuring continuous evolution and improvement, while measuring their effectiveness.

Take charge of implementing, coordinating, and monitoring these activities worldwide, meticulously documenting and showcasing the impact and reach of SEA LIFE programs. Foster strong relationships with external partners and stakeholders, contributing to research and policy direction, and inspiring positive behavior change to protect our marine world.

Embark on this exciting journey with SEA LIFE, where your dedication to education and conservation will make waves on a global scale.
