This position is with Explore, one of the brands under Manifest Global, which also includes Cialfo, BridgeU and Kaaiser.
What This Role Is
Every year, universities across the world spend significant budget trying to reach the right international students. They run fairs, buy lists, work with agents, invest in digital campaigns. Most of them have a reasonable sense of where their international students come from. Very few have a clear picture of why. Which counsellors recommended them. Which platforms surfaced their programmes. Which moments in a student's journey actually shaped the decision to apply.
Explore was built to change that. Launched in 2025 as Manifest Global's university-facing platform, Explore gives institutions direct access to the largest global network of high school counsellors and students in the world, built on the combined reach of Cialfo and BridgeU across 1,750+ K12 schools in Asia-Pacific, the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. Universities use Explore to run targeted outreach campaigns, engage students earlier in their decision journey, and understand what's actually driving their international recruitment pipeline.
The platform is live. The university partner base is growing. The commercial model is being actively built. And the marketing function that drives Explore's growth, shapes how universities understand the product, and delivers the student engagement campaigns that make the platform valuable, doesn't yet exist at the scale or quality it needs to.
That's what this role builds.
The Head of Marketing, Explore owns two things simultaneously: growing Explore's university partner base through B2B marketing, and delivering high-quality student marketing campaigns to universities through the Cialfo and BridgeU network. Both matter commercially. Both require someone who can think strategically, build systems, and connect marketing activity directly to revenue outcomes. You'll report to the COO and operate with significant autonomy across a genuinely new product at a consequential stage of its growth.
What Makes This Role Different
Most marketing leadership roles in the university sector sit inside a single institution or a single channel. This one sits at the centre of a platform that connects hundreds of university partners to the largest K12 counsellor and student network in the world. The scale of what's possible from this seat is unusual.
Explore also has something most university marketing platforms don't: a genuine data and intelligence layer. The counsellor relationships, the student engagement data, and the platform infrastructure built across Cialfo and BridgeU give Explore the ability to offer universities insight into their international recruitment pipeline that no agent, fair, or outreach platform can match. The marketing function that communicates that clearly, to the right university buyers, in language that makes them act, is one of the most important things Explore can build right now.
The broader international education market is contracting. Explore is growing. Universities that are serious about their international recruitment strategy are looking for partners that offer more than volume. This is the right moment to be building the marketing function that makes Explore that partner, at scale.
What You Own
University growth and market expansion
Student marketing campaign delivery
Brand and thought leadership
Team leadership and operations
What Success Looks Like
The markers below reflect where Explore's marketing function is today. The product is new, the partner base is growing, and the commercial model is still being shaped. We'll calibrate the specifics once you're in the seat. These are directional, not fixed.
You'll start by building a thorough picture of the current state: what the university acquisition pipeline looks like, how campaign delivery is working, where the brand is strong and where it isn't, and what the highest-leverage marketing investments are. You'll have a clear view on where to move first.
From there, the marketing function will be measurably more connected to revenue. University acquisition campaigns will be generating better pipeline. Campaign delivery for university partners will be more scalable and more consistently excellent. The Explore brand will be better known among the university buyers that matter.
Over time, Explore will be recognised as the platform that understands international student recruitment better than anyone else in the market, and the marketing function will have played a material role in making that true. Universities that came in uncertain about the product will be renewing and expanding because the value is visible and the marketing function helped them see it.
The specifics will be calibrated once you're in the role. The direction won't change.
What You Bring
You have significant experience in marketing leadership, with a track record that spans B2B growth marketing, campaign operations, or integrated marketing in a platform, SaaS, EdTech, or higher education context. You've built marketing functions before, not just contributed to them. You know what it takes to design the systems, hire the team, and hold the commercial accountability simultaneously.
You're genuinely commercially driven. You've been accountable for pipeline and revenue contribution, not just brand metrics and engagement rates. You can sit in a commercial review and speak about marketing's role in revenue in terms that a sales leader finds credible and that a CFO finds useful.
You understand the higher education sector well enough to speak its language and challenge its assumptions. You know how university international offices make decisions, what they value in a platform partner, and what it takes to move from a trial to a long-term relationship. You've worked with institutional buyers before and you know the difference between a conversation that's going somewhere and one that isn't.
You're genuinely open about AI as a marketing tool. You've used it seriously, you have a view on where it creates real leverage and where it produces mediocre output at speed, and you advocate for adoption because you've seen what it enables. You can build a team that uses AI with judgment.
You're comfortable with the ambiguity that comes with a new product at a growth stage. Explore is being built now. The playbook isn't finished. The person who thrives in this role finds that energising rather than unsettling.
Most importantly, you read about what Explore is building and thought: I understand exactly what universities need from this and I know how to build the marketing function that delivers it. That's who this role is for.
Why Manifest
Manifest Global is building the infrastructure for global human capital mobility, connecting students, schools, universities, and employers across 50+ countries. Our portfolio spans Cialfo (AI-powered college counselling, 2,000+ schools), BridgeU (university guidance for international schools globally), Kaaiser (trusted study abroad counselling since 1997 across India and Southeast Asia), and Explore (AI-powered university outreach platform). Together, we move talent across borders at scale. $700B flows annually in remittances from migrant workers. 85M workers will be missing from developed economies by 2030. We're building the operating system that changes that. $80M raised. Still early.
For this role specifically, Explore sits at the point where the Manifest ecosystem meets the university market. The counsellor network, the student data, the K12 platform reach: all of it becomes commercially valuable to universities through Explore. The marketing function that makes that value visible, credible, and compelling is one of the most important things Explore can build right now. The person who builds it from this seat will have shaped how one of the most significant new products in international education marketing goes to market.
Explore is part of Manifest Global, a multi-brand group building the infrastructure for global human capital mobility, operating across 50+ countries with $80M raised from Tiger Global, SIG, and Square Peg.

Apply to Cialfo
What This Role Is
Manifest Global operates four brands across 50+ countries, each serving a different part of the international education ecosystem. Cialfo works with 2,000+ schools and the counsellors inside them. BridgeU serves international schools across the UK, Europe, and the Middle East. Explore works with university partners on their international recruitment strategy. Kaaiser has been placing students from India and Southeast Asia into universities across Australia, the UK, Canada, and beyond since 1997.
Each of these businesses has a distinct audience, a distinct stage of market maturity, and a distinct story to tell. Right now, the content function that serves them is fragmented. There's no central engine, no shared infrastructure, no consistent standard for how Manifest's brands show up in writing across any channel. That gap is real and it costs us.
This role builds the engine that closes it.
The Head of Content, B2B will design and run a centralised content function that serves all four brands the way a high-performance internal agency would. You'll own the strategy, the team, the systems, the quality standard, and the connection between content output and commercial outcome. This is not a writing role or a channel management role. It's an operational leadership role for someone who thinks in systems, builds for scale, and understands that content without commercial consequence is just production.
What Makes This Role Different
Most senior content roles sit inside a single brand with a single ICP and a reasonably stable strategy. This one sits across four brands with different buyer types, different competitive landscapes, and different levels of market awareness.
That's genuinely complex. The person who does it well has to context-switch between the counsellor audience at Cialfo, the university admissions audience at Explore, the international school leadership audience at BridgeU, and the student-facing and agent-facing audiences at Kaaiser, without losing the thread of what makes each brand distinct. They also have to hold the group-level narrative together, making sure Manifest's overall positioning is coherent even when the brand-level stories are pointing in different directions.
The content landscape itself is also shifting fast. The channels, formats, and tools that defined B2B content marketing three years ago are not the ones that will define it three years from now. The person in this seat needs to be genuinely ahead of that shift, not catching up to it. That means going well beyond LinkedIn and traditional content playbooks, and it means using AI as a real capability multiplier rather than a productivity shortcut.
The Manifest group is growing while the broader overseas education sector is contracting. The content function that tells that story well, across the right channels, to the right audiences, at the right moment in their decision journey, is a genuine commercial lever. Building that function from this seat is the opportunity.
What You Own
Content strategy across all four brands
The central content engine
Team leadership
Content to revenue alignment
Distribution and performance
What Success Looks Like
The markers below reflect where the content function is today. We'll calibrate the specifics once you're in the seat. These are directional, not fixed.
You'll start by building a clear picture of what exists across the four brands, what's working, what's missing, where the quality gaps are, and where the highest-leverage places to invest are. You'll have a point of view on where to build first and which channels and formats are most underexploited.
From there, the content engine will be taking shape. Editorial systems will be running. The team will have clear structure and clear ownership. AI will be embedded in how the team works, not bolted on. At least some of the brand narratives will be sharper than they were before you arrived, and there will be early evidence of content contributing to pipeline rather than just producing output.
Over time, Manifest will have a content function that the commercial teams across all four brands actively rely on, that builds genuine market authority for each brand, and that runs with enough infrastructure and second-line leadership that it doesn't depend on you being in every decision. That's what a well-built content engine looks like.
The specifics will be calibrated once you're in the role. The direction won't change.
What You Bring
You have twelve to fifteen years in B2B content, content marketing, or brand strategy, and a meaningful part of that has been building and running functions rather than contributing to them. You've managed multi-brand or multi-product content before. You've led teams of five to twenty or more people. You know what it takes to build the systems that make a content team consistent and scalable, and you've done it in environments where the commercial expectations were real.
You think in workflows and resource allocation, not just editorial calendars. You've built briefing systems, quality control frameworks, and production infrastructure. You understand that the operational side of a content function is what makes the creative side sustainable.
You're commercially literate. You can connect a content decision to a business outcome and have that conversation with a sales leader or a CFO without needing to translate. You've built attribution and reporting systems that tracked something more meaningful than page views, and you know what good content ROI measurement actually looks like in practice.
You have a genuinely expansive view of what B2B content can be. You've built beyond LinkedIn and the standard playbook, and you have real examples of formats, channels, or distribution models that most teams in your space weren't doing. You're not done exploring.
You're openly enthusiastic about AI as a creative and operational tool. You've used it seriously, not just dabbled. You have a clear view of where it accelerates good work and where it produces mediocre output at speed, and you know how to build a team that uses it with that kind of judgment. You advocate for AI adoption because you've seen what it enables, not because it's the current thing to be seen adopting.
You can context-switch across different brand voices, buyer types, and market stages without losing clarity on what each brand needs. You've done this before, either in a multi-brand role or in an agency environment where the client roster demanded it.
Most importantly, you read the description of what Manifest is building across four brands and thought: I know exactly how to build the content function this needs. That's who this role is for.
Why Manifest
Manifest Global is building the infrastructure for global human capital mobility, connecting students, schools, universities, and employers across 50+ countries. Our portfolio spans Cialfo (AI-powered college counselling, 2,000+ schools), BridgeU (university guidance for international schools globally), Kaaiser (trusted study abroad counselling since 1997 across India and Southeast Asia), and Explore (AI-powered university outreach, 1,000+ university partners). Together, we move talent across borders at scale. $700B flows annually in remittances from migrant workers. 85M workers will be missing from developed economies by 2030. We're building the operating system that changes that.
For this role specifically, content is one of the primary ways Manifest's brands build authority and generate pipeline in markets where trust is the deciding factor. The counsellors, school leaders, university admissions officers, and agents that our brands serve are all operating in a world with a lot of noise. The content function that cuts through that noise, consistently, across four brands and multiple markets, is doing genuinely high-leverage work. Building that function from this seat is the opportunity.

You will own product positioning, messaging, competitive intelligence, and voice of the customer — while simultaneously driving pipeline across web, digital, lifecycle, events, social, and ABM. You will be the strategic link between what we build and how the market receives it, and you will own the campaign engine that converts that positioning into revenue.
You will use AI tools natively across the entire marketing lifecycle — from audience research and brief generation through to creative production, performance analysis, and reporting — and you will operate as a true partner to the K12 Sales team, owning MQL quality, the handoff process, and pipeline SLAs.

About this role
We're hiring a Content Marketing Lead to own content strategy for Cialfo and BridgeU's K12 platform globally. This isn't a "set strategy and delegate" role, you'll be deeply hands-on. You'll write, brief, edit, ship, and measure. You'll also build the execution infrastructure around you: AI tools, freelancers, and agencies that let you punch well above your weight. Cialfo and BridgeU sells to schools but serves counselors and students. That means your content has to work across three connected audiences - the administrator who signs the contract, the counselor who uses the platform every day, and the student whose outcomes justify the whole thing. Getting all three right is what makes this role genuinely interesting. This role is based in Delhi, India and carries a global remit.
