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 £14m – money that goes straight back into school budgets and increases teachers’ pay.

We're expanding, reaching out to numerous schools to lend our support! With offices in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Truro, Manchester, Liverpool and Cardiff, if you're keen on a role in any of these 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.

What you’ll be doing:

1. Own the relationship with key customers including retention, expansion, and new business.
2. Lead school leaders through successful recruitment processes using a consultative approach.
3. Call schools and build pipeline.
4. Work collaboratively with the sales, operations, and technology teams to continuously improve efficiency in delivering value to schools.
5. 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:

• Enthusiasm and eagerness to learn. We will give you all the training and tools needed to succeed!
• Someone passionate and motivated, who loves being part of a close team.
• Proven track record of hitting sales targets.
• Confidence in developing outbound pipelines 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.

What's in it for you?

• Work that you want to talk about.
• Competitive salary.
• Ownership in the company.
• 25 days of holiday.
• Fun-loving, tight-knit team solving a problem that makes a difference.
• 1-1 coaching.
• Life Insurance.
• Health Insurance.
• Electric Car Scheme.
• Cycle to Work Scheme.

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.
