We are a mission-driven accessibility startup dedicated to transforming how neurodivergent individuals navigate their educational and professional journeys. Estendio builds technology that helps disabled and neurodivergent students study more independently, confidently, and effectively.
Since launching our first product, Present Pal, back in 2018, Estendio has empowered students across over 150 universities in the UK and US to excel in their presentations and communication skills. Building on this success, Tailo is our newest product - an AI-powered academic reading and research companion designed specifically for students who feel overwhelmed by dense, high-volume academic content. Unlike generic AI tools, Tailo prioritises learning, integrity, and accessibility.
In 2026, our focus is not growth at all costs, it's proving that students choose Tailo over free AI tools for real academic work - and come back on their own.
About the RoleWe're looking for a Head of GTM to own and run our B2C validation phase. This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who enjoys early-stage ambiguity, working close to product, and using direct insight to drive decisions.
You'll be responsible for designing and running experiments that tell us:
whether Tailo delivers real, repeatable value to students, and at scale
where and why students engage or drop off
what signals justify scaling, pausing, or changing direction
This is a newly created role responsible for product-adjacent growth and validation.

Comfortable with Candour: You have the confidence to say, "This isn't working." You value the project's success over being "right".
