The current model exclusively relies on agencies that charge a massive commission and are terribly inefficient (everything is paper and phone-call-based). We are consolidating this analogue, fragmented, and inefficient marketplace onto a digital platform. Think Uber for supply teachers. In the process, we're pulling hundreds of millions of waste out of the education system and making a huge positive impact on teachers and schools. Zen allows them to reliably connect and get back to what really matters our children! We have recently raised our Series B funding of $37mil, the largest round in European EdTech this year.

What you'll be doing Calling and visiting school leaders and senior administrator to introduce Zen Educate and arrange follow-up meetings. Planning and conducting training for other members of the team. Presenting Zen Educate in school visits and events to senior school staff. Calling teachers and teaching assistants to promote Zen Educate as an alternative to traditional recruitment agencies. Educate supply teachers on how they can use the Zen Educate app to level up their experience of supply teaching. Listen back to your calls, and your colleagues' calls, to share best practices and to consistently improve output. Manage Daily Supply for new and existing schools between 7:00am - 8:00am - build relationships with Senior Leaders at schools and drive growth of daily supply through upsell strategies and generating referrals. Get your hands dirty. Like any true start-up, no two weeks will be the same and a general interest in 'mucking in' and just getting the job done is crucial What we are looking for You Love sales and are eager to continue developing a long successful career in sales. Care deeply about doing work that makes a difference. Love interacting with people regularly - teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders. Are resilient - not discouraged by things not going your way and are quick to try again. Work hard and do whatever it takes to get results. Communicate confidently with anyone, including senior leaders, and can get a message across clearly and concisely. Hungry to invest time and effort in learning and developing your professional skills through books, podcasts, videos and any other means. Manage time carefully to maximise results and don't get distracted easily. Get energy from chasing and smashing through targets. Experience & Qualifications 1+ year experience consistently exceeding targets in a sales and/or fundraising environment. Proven track record of resilience and high quality work in your field of choice. Experience studying in the UK education sector or demonstrated passion for making a difference through education. Interest in start-ups and technology Teaching experience (preferred) What's in it for you?

The current model exclusively relies on agencies that charge a massive commission and are terribly inefficient (everything is paper and phone-call-based). We are consolidating this analogue, fragmented, and inefficient marketplace onto a digital platform. Think Uber for supply teachers. In the process, we're pulling hundreds of millions of waste out of the education system and making a huge positive impact on teachers and schools.

We're looking for experienced outbound sales enthusiasts, who are enthusiastic and energised by picking up the phone and visiting prospects in person to kickstart new relationships. You'll be a senior member of the team, building a sales pipeline for the team while serving as a role model for new SDRs and facilitating training sessions. What you'll be doing Calling and visiting school leaders and senior administrator to introduce Zen Educate and arrange follow-up meetings. Planning and conducting training for other members of the team. Presenting Zen Educate in school visits and events to senior school staff. Calling teachers and teaching assistants to promote Zen Educate as an alternative to traditional recruitment agencies. Educate supply teachers on how they can use the Zen Educate app to level up their experience of supply teaching. Listen back to your calls, and your colleagues' calls, to share best practices and to consistently improve output. Manage Daily Supply for new and existing schools between 7:00am - 8:00am - build relationships with Senior Leaders at schools and drive growth of daily supply through upsell strategies and generating referrals. Get your hands dirty. Like any true start-up, no two weeks will be the same and a general interest in 'mucking in' and just getting the job done is crucial What we are looking for You Love sales and are eager to continue developing a long successful career in sales. Care deeply about doing work that makes a difference. Love interacting with people regularly - teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders. Are resilient - not discouraged by things not going your way and are quick to try again. Work hard and do whatever it takes to get results.
