About Zen Educate:

Zen is revolutionising education. Schools spend over £2bn a year on agency staff, and £00m 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 £10m – oney that goes straight back into school budgets and increases teachers’ pay.

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.

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!

Who we are looking for:

1. Someone passionate and motivated, who loves being a part of a close team.
2. Proven track record of hitting sales targets.
3. Confident in developing outbound pipelines and handling objections.
4. Growth mindset — dedicated to growing your skills as a professional.
5. Passion for companies that have a positive social impact and the education sector.
6. Strong bias to action.
7. Strong verbal and written communication skills to engage Headteachers and other school leaders.
8. Care and empathy for the education sector and the challenges of working in it.

What you'll be doing:

1. Calling candidates (Teachers, Teaching Assistants and other roles) to engage with them the Zen Educate platform and help them find work in UK schools as quickly as possible.
2. Follow up inbound and outbound leads and drive urgency in finding work through Zen Educate while providing all necessary documentation for compliance purposes.
3. Monitor job boards to engage and attract the highest quality candidates before any traditional, expensive recruitment agencies do.
4. Interact with candidates in a friendly and helpful manner and maintain positive relationships to keep them on board with us and create a great candidate experience.
5. Increase the number of talented candidates on our platform and help place them in roles by matching their skills to the schools’ requirements.
6. Work collaboratively across the business with the sales and technology teams to help improve efficiency in providing value to candidates.

Experience & Qualifications Required:

1. At least 2 years of phone sales, admissions or recruitment experience.
2. Experience working in or with the UK education sector is helpful but not essential.

What's in it for you?

1. Work that you want to talk about.
2. Competitive salary.
3. 25 days of holiday in line with UK education term dates, plus UK bank holidays.
4. Fun-loving, tight-knit team solving a problem that makes a difference.

Diversity and 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.
