Senior AM Location: London (Oval), United Kingdom Type: Full-time Salary: £45,000- £60,000 OTE If your salary expectations do not meet our banding, please do still apply, as there is flexibility for industry experience Hi, I'm Bill, Head of Account Management at Zen Educate, and I'm looking for Account Managers who want to tackle a very real, very important problem: helping schools get the teachers they need, when they need them, without wasting millions on old-school recruitment agencies. If you're someone who loves building relationships, solving meaningful problems, and being part of a mission-driven team this might be your thing. What we're building and why Here's the challenge: UK schools spend over £2 billion a year on temporary staff. But £600 million of that goes straight into the pockets of recruitment agencies, money that should be going back into classrooms and teachers' pay. So we're doing things differently. Zen Educate is an online platform that gives schools instant access to fully vetted teachers and support staff. Since launching in 2017, we've already saved schools over £30 million, that's gone straight back to where it matters most. We've just closed a $37 m Series B (the biggest EdTech round in Europe last year!), and we're scaling fast in the UK and the US . It's an exciting time to join, have a huge impact, and grow alongside us. What this role looks like in practice Own the relationship with key accounts school accounts including retention, expansion, and new business Build and develop relationships with Senior Stakeholders across networks within your region e.g. Executive Headteachers, MAT CEOs Take the lead on operational and commercial projects within your team Lead school leaders through successful recruitment processes using a consultative approach Call schools and build pipeline Work collaboratively with the sales, operations, and the technology team to continuously improve efficiency in delivering value to schools 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 Who you are Naturally enthusiastic and curious (we'll train you on everything else!). Confident picking up the phone, handling objections, and building trust fast. Someone with a proven track record of hitting sales targets (or smashing similar KPIs). A team player who loves being part of a close-knit group. Passionate about having a positive social impact (bonus points if you care deeply about education). Someone with a growth mindset is always looking to learn and improve. What you might like or dislike You might love it if: You want a role where your work has a tangible social impact. You like fast paced environments where things are always evolving. You're excited about the idea of working in a mission driven startup that's scaling rapidly. You might find it tricky if: You prefer highly structured corporate environments with fixed processes. You don't like ambiguity. Sometimes we're building the plane while flying it. Picking up the phone and having conversations with decision makers feels uncomfortable. What's in it for you? Meaningful work - this isn't just another SaaS tool; you're literally helping schools save money and pay teachers more. Competitive salary + ownership in the company. 25 days holiday + all the usual UK public holidays. A central London office with perks like fresh fruit, bike parking, showers, an on site gym, and a café. 1 1 coaching to keep you growing personally and professionally. Life & Health Insurance, Cycle to Work Scheme, Electric Car Scheme. How we hire Quick chat with our recruiter - to get to know you and cover the basics. Role focused conversation - we'll talk about how you approach account management, building relationships, and hitting targets. Practical Task and role play - to see how you'd think on your feet with a realistic school conversation. Culture chat with the team - making sure it's a good fit both ways. We're direct and transparent. If it's a yes, great! If it's a no, we'll let you know quickly. Diversity & inclusion At Zen, we strive to build a culture of equity and inclusion, where everyone is respected, valued and appreciated for their unique traits, experiences and perspectives. We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive and equitable environment where our team can thrive, regardless of age, ethnicity, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio economic status, disability, religion or beliefs. We value our differences and believe that practices of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion help us create a fairer, more compassionate environment for all. We welcome applicants with diverse backgrounds and different experiences and perspectives, just like the staff who teach through Zen and the children at the schools we work with. We believe in hiring the best people from the widest pool and creating an inclusive culture where people's voices are heard and all our team can look forward to coming to work. We are committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of our community and promoting an equitable and inclusive environment for all. We seek out diverse opinions, beliefs and experiences because they collectively make us stronger; we've had former teachers, pilots, fundraisers, engineers, lawyers, marketers, social media experts and more join our team.

Your work will support and positively impact students, teachers and partners around the world. Working with the Embedded Software lead and wider tech team, you will develop, improve and research the embedded software that runs on the 11 million BBC micro:bit's distributed around the world. The device helps children and teachers get creative with digital technology, with a specific focus on broadening the diversity of students passionate about computing. This is a broad role in a small organisation, working predominantly on open source projects, in collaboration with other organisations like Lancaster University, Arm and Microsoft. Current projects include: The micro:bit CODAL - the abstractions on which the primary, web-based editors for the micro:bit are built ( , ) DAPLink - the micro:bit's firmware that enables the seamless experience in classrooms so the micro:bit can be programmed from the browser MicroPython for the micro:bit and pxt-microbit , from which MakeCode is built. We want to enable a diversity of people to create amazing and creative things with the micro:bit, so empowering them to do as many different things, as easily as possible, is a key goal. The successful candidate will help us push the limit of what can be done with the micro:bit hardware, with an emphasis on writing expandable, efficient software, with user friendly interfaces. Essential qualifications More than 4 years experience developing C/C++ drivers and software to run on embedded devices (ideally Arm Cortex-M).

We have achieved this by working closely with engineering teams at our global partners, including Arm, Microsoft, MIT and Nominet. Through these partnerships, the micro:bit is at the heart of a diverse ecosystem of hardware accessories, software editors and educational resource providers. A key role of the tech team at The Foundation is to support this ecosystem in growing and diversifying in an open way. The Micro:bit Educational Foundation is committed to improving the diversity of our team. We actively seek and welcome applications from women, and from all sections of the community.

One of the greatest benefits of working at micro:bit is knowing that the work you're doing is contributing to something positive, constructive and with beneficial social outcomes. The Micro:bit Educational Foundation offers the opportunity to include outreach activities in your work, these can include working with tech community groups, teaching with the micro:bit at code clubs and so on. Once probationary period is complete, contractual benefits include; group private medical and group life insurance plan, EAP plan, flexibility in working hours, flexible annual leave policy (taking at minimum 20 days a year not including national holidays) and pension arrangement.

This is a broad role in a small organisation, working predominantly on open source projects, in collaboration with other organisations like Lancaster University, Arm and Microsoft. Current projects include: The micro:bit CODAL - the abstractions on which the primary, web-based editors for the micro:bit are built ( , ) DAPLink - the micro:bit's firmware that enables the seamless experience in classrooms so the micro:bit can be programmed from the browser MicroPython for the micro:bit and pxt-microbit , from which MakeCode is built. We want to enable a diversity of people to create amazing and creative things with the micro:bit, so empowering them to do as many different things, as easily as possible, is a key goal. The successful candidate will help us push the limit of what can be done with the micro:bit hardware, with an emphasis on writing expandable, efficient software, with user friendly interfaces. Essential qualifications More than 4 years experience developing C/C++ drivers and software to run on embedded devices (ideally Arm Cortex-M). Experience debugging software in embedded systems using electronic lab tools. Familiarity with test methodologies for embedded systems, including automated and manual tests. Excited to learn new tools and approaches. Diligent in delivering robust, tested and maintainable solutions. Empathetic and effective communication. Capable to work autonomously to achieve project objectives and to collaborate with internal teams, external organisations, and external collaborators. This role requires building an understanding of our audience and working closely with teams across The Foundation. You'll contribute to the planning and design of new features and day-to-day operations. Don't feel discouraged if you don't match many (or any!) of the entries from this section. These are beneficial for the role but are not necessary. Ability to learn on the job and adapt to evolving challenges is more valuable than anything listed here. Experience working on firmware that runs at scale on consumer or industrial devices Experience managing open source projects & documentation Experience managing continuous integration pipelines for embedded systems with or without hardware-in-the-loop Experience with wired (USB, I2C, SPI, UART) and/or wireless (BLE, Wifi) communication protocols Experience with low power design techniques Experience creating and reviewing hardware/firmware/software requirements and designs If you don't feel you match these requirements but are interested in the role, please feel free to apply and explain in your covering letter the areas where you might need support or would like to develop your experience. Responsibilities To facilitate maintenance and development of new features in micro:bit embedded codebases: DAPLink, MicroPython, the C++ abstraction layer for micro:bit V1 ( DAL ) and micro:bit V2 ( CODAL ), and to ensure continued improvement in the educational experience for users of both micro:bit devices To lead the process of maintaining these open source projects, including managing their GitHub repositories, continuous integration pipelines, release management, triaging and prioritising bug reports and pull requests, and identifying when to raise prioritisation with senior members of the team To manage and continue development of the documentation required to facilitate the consumption of these open source projects by other projects (MakeCode, MicroPython) and C++ users To manage and continue development of software/firmware tests to maintain and improve the stability, reliability, and performance of the embedded software To prototype and explore new features and to support collaboration with other teams or organisations to experiment and prototype on the micro:bit platform There are now more than 11 million micro:bits running the embedded software stack you will be working on, and we estimate more than 65 million children around the world have learned to code with the BBC micro:bit. We have achieved this by working closely with engineering teams at our global partners, including Arm, Microsoft, MIT and Nominet. Through these partnerships, the micro:bit is at the heart of a diverse ecosystem of hardware accessories, software editors and educational resource providers. A key role of the tech team at The Foundation is to support this ecosystem in growing and diversifying in an open way. The Micro:bit Educational Foundation is committed to improving the diversity of our team. We actively seek and welcome applications from women, and from all sections of the community. Location Location - Oxford, UK (flexible) For this role, we believe there is value in face-to-face collaboration for design discussions and mentoring. This position is based at our central Oxford office, however a significant amount of flexible working is possible. We expect this role to be in the office at least 2 days per week on average. However, if you are not local to Oxford and are really excited about this opportunity, we would still love to hear from you. Global impact with your work We are a small organisation with a large audience and reach. We thrive on creative problem solving and are open to new ideas and solutions. This gives each individual the chance to have enormous impact, as well as ensuring that your days will be diverse and the challenges complex. The Micro:bit Educational Foundation is a UK-based not for profit with the goal to inspire every child to create their best digital future ( Read more about our goals in our website ). We achieve this through a combination of global grassroots activity and large-scale deployments with partners; for example last year we deployed micro:bits into 90% of UK primary schools in a project with Nominet and the BBC. One of the greatest benefits of working at micro:bit is knowing that the work you're doing is contributing to something positive, constructive and with beneficial social outcomes. The Micro:bit Educational Foundation offers the opportunity to include outreach activities in your work, these can include working with tech community groups, teaching with the micro:bit at code clubs and so on. Once probationary period is complete, contractual benefits include; group private medical and group life insurance plan, EAP plan, flexibility in working hours, flexible annual leave policy (taking at minimum 20 days a year not including national holidays) and pension arrangement. Flexibility The Micro:bit Educational Foundation is a flexible employer and we love to support our team to work around other commitments in their lives, and we have a track-record of actually doing this. Please get in touch if you're interested in this role but you require different working arrangements. This is a full time role but we would also consider candidates working 4 days a week on a pro-rata basis. Salary £45,000-55,000 depending on experience Application & recruitment schedule There is no fixed closing date for this role. We will be conducting interviews on an ongoing basis. We monitor our performance on hiring diversity, using a questionnaire at the end of the application process.
