About us:

Zen is revolutionising education. Schools spend over £2bn a year on agency staff, and £600m of that goes straight into the pockets of recruitment agencies. That’s why we’ve built an alternative.

Our online platform gives schools instant access to hundreds of profiles of fully vetted teachers and support staff. Since launching in 2017, we’ve saved schools over £30m – money that goes straight back into school budgets and increases teachers’ pay.

We have recently raised our Series B funding of $37mil, the largest round in European EdTech this year. This is an exciting opportunity to make a difference and be part of a high growth start-up that is expanding rapidly in the UK and US markets!

We're expanding, reaching out to numerous schools to lend our support! With offices in Birmingham, Bristol, Turo, London, Cardiff, Nottingham and Liverpool if you're keen on a role in any of these other locations, we'd love to hear from you!

The opportunity:

This is your chance to join a tech startup in hypergrowth. We’re passionate about professional development, and we’ll work to maximise your personal and career growth.

We're looking for enthusiastic, mission-driven people who fit our values and are passionate about what we do. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't exactly match the job description.

What you’ll be doing:

• Own the relationship with key customers including retention, expansion and new business
• 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
  
  
  

• We want you to bring enthusiasm and an eagerness to learn. We will give you all the training and tools that you need to succeed!
• Someone passionate and motivated, who loves being a part of a close team
• Proven track record of hitting sales targets
• Confident in developing outbound pipeline and handling objections
• Growth mindset — dedicated to growing your skills as a professional
• Passion for companies that have a positive social impact and the education sector
  
  
  

• Work that you want to talk about
• Competitive salary
• Ownership in the company
• 25 days of holiday
• Central Manchester office with hybrid working options
• Fun-loving, tight-knit team solving a problem that makes a difference
