Job description

ABOUT US

HyperDev is a new developer-focused spin‑out within the HyperionDev ecosystem, one of the world’s leading providers of accelerated tech education. Our mission at HyperDev is to help people Write Code Right and 10x their impact by radically improving how developers build, learn, and grow in their work using generative AI.
We’re building the first tool that truly bridges the gap between low‑code platforms and full‑scale programming. By abstracting code into natural language, developers maintain full control over logic and behaviour while eliminating the friction of syntax and boilerplate.
Our founding team comprises engineers who have worked on generative AI models at OpenAI (as recently as 2024) and technical leaders behind a BAFTA‑winning video game renowned for its innovation.
HyperionDev, our parent organisation, is one of the largest and most recognised coding education providers in EMEA. We partner with world‑class universities, including Imperial College London, The London School of Economics, and The University of Edinburgh, to deliver industry‑driven coding bootcamps that fast‑track learners into meaningful tech careers. Backed by Meta and the UK government’s Department for Education, and supported by a global community of nearly 2000 investors, HyperionDev is a profitable, high‑growth scaleup shaping the future of tech education.
By joining HyperDev, you become part of this wider mission, combining the power of cutting‑edge AI with a proven model for global tech impact.

ABOUT THE ROLE

In this role, you will consult with people seeking a career change about technical education, employment options, and career progression. As a trusted expert, you will understand potential customers’ education needs and career goals and match these future goals with the bootcamp programs we offer through HyperionDev and University Partners worldwide. These programs are designed to help those in non‑tech careers switch to full‑time coding jobs. You will manage the customer relationship from lead assignment to enrollment.

As an experienced consultant, you will be in a position of responsibility within the team, with substantial growth opportunities. You should be motivated with the knowledge that our courses and education methodology improve people’s lives. You must be ambitious and want to make the most of the tremendous opportunities you’ll have being a core part of a small but fast‑growing team.

As an Admissions Consultant at HyperionDev, you must have a passion and excellent understanding of emerging technologies and real‑world programming use cases, a proven track record of 3+ years of professional, solution‑based consultation experience, excellent communication skills, and a track record of meeting and exceeding targets.
