BARBRI is the most trusted name in legal education — and we’re growing. With a product portfolio that spans the full legal learning lifecycle, from LSAT prep and law school study aids; casebooks to bar exam preparation, SQE prep, and continuing legal education, we serve aspiring and practicing legal professionals at every stage of their careers.
We’re now seeking a Vice President of Brand and Creative Strategy to own and champion the BARBRI brand at the highest level — and drive us to our next chapter of growth. This is not a caretaker role. This is a market-making opportunity for a brand leader who wants to define how the world’s legal community learns, grows, and advances.
You will be the architect of a brand strategy that fuels awareness, conversion, and market share across two powerful business dimensions:
B2C: Pre-law students, LSAT candidates, law students, bar exam takers, SQE candidates, paralegals, and legal and tax professionals pursuing CLE and CPE
B2B: Law firms, law schools, and legal organizations seeking training and development solutions for their teams
Reporting directly to BARBRI’s Chief Marketing Officer and sitting on the executive Marketing Leadership Team, you will own BARBRI’s brand voice, its creative engine, and be a key driver of competitive differentiation globally.
BARBRI operates at a rare intersection: a deeply trusted legacy brand with a significant runway for growth. The legal education landscape is evolving rapidly, and the leader who steps into this role will have the platform and authority to reshape how BARBRI shows up in the market — sharpening our positioning, expanding our reach, and ensuring that every touch point, from a first digital impression to a long-term B2B partnership and LTV, reflects a brand that is indisputably the leader in its field.
