Job description
Senior Education Recruitment Consultant Location: London (Oval) United KingdomType: Full-time Salary: 45000- 60000 OTE*If your salary expectations do not meet our banding please do still apply as there is flexibility for industry experience Hi Im Bill Head of Account Management at Zen Educate and Im looking for Senior Education Recruitment Consultants who want to tackle a very real very important problem: helping schools get the teachers they need when they need them without wasting millions on old-school recruitment agencies. If youre someone who loves building relationships solving meaningful problems and being part of a mission-driven team this might be your thing. What were building and whyHeres the challenge: UK schools spend over 2 billion a year on temporary staff. But 600m of that goes straight into the pockets of recruitment agencies money that should be going back into classrooms and teachers pay. So were doing things differently. Zen Educate is an online platform that gives schools instant access to fully vetted teachers and support staff. Since launching in 2017 weve already saved schools over 30 million thats gone straight back to where it matters most. Weve just closed a $37m Series B (the biggest EdTech round in Europe last year!) and were scaling fast in the UK and the US . Its an exciting time to join have a huge impact and grow alongside us. What this role looks like in practiceThis isnt your standard manage a few accounts and send a few emails kind of job. As a Senior Account Manager at Zen youll be:
  • Own the relationship with key accounts school accounts including retention expansion and new business.
  • Build and develop relationships with Senior Stakeholders across networks within your region e.g. Executive Headteachers MAT CEOs.
  • Take the lead on operational and commercial projects within your team.
  • 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.
Who you areYou dont have to tick every single box but we think youll thrive here if youre:
  • Naturally enthusiastic and curious (well train you on everything else!).
  • Confident picking up the phone handling objections and building trust fast.
  • Someone with a proven track record of hitting sales targets (or smashing similar KPIs).
  • A team player who loves being part of a close-knit group.
  • Passionate about having a positive social impact (bonus points if you care deeply about education).
  • Someone with a growth mindset is always looking to learn and improve.
What you might like or dislikeEvery company has its tradeoffs so heres some real talk to help you decide if this is the right fit for you. You might love it if:
  • You want a role where your work has a tangible social impact.
  • You like fast-paced environments where things are always evolving.
  • Youre excited about the idea of working in a mission-driven startup thats scaling rapidly.
You might find it tricky if:
  • You prefer highly structured corporate environments with fixed processes.
  • You dont like ambiguity. Sometimes were building the plane while flying it.
  • Picking up the phone and having conversations with decision-makers feels uncomfortable.
Whats in it for you
  • Competitive salary ownership in the company.
  • 25 days holiday all the usual UK public holidays.
  • A central London office with perks like fresh fruit bike parking showers an on-site gym and a café.
  • 1-1 coaching to keep you growing personally and professionally.
  • Life & Health Insurance Cycle to Work Scheme Electric Car Scheme.
  • Meaningful work this isnt just another SaaS tool; youre literally helping schools save money and pay teachers more.
