More about the role

You’ll be part of our UK team, working alongside colleagues in sales, customer and marketing. You'll also be part of our international business team, with colleagues both in Sweden and Norway. 

In this role, you will be responsible for:

• Driving growth in the UK education sector and expanding our market presence through sales and business development, from prospecting to closing deals. You will report directly to our International Business Director.

• Engaging with key decision-makers, such as IT managers and CEOs at Multi Academy Trusts (MATs). Although much of our work is digital, some travel to customers will be required.

• Attending trade shows, user groups, and key conferences to network and further develop opportunities.

We believe experience comes in different forms

Ideally, we’re looking for someone with:

• Previous experience in sales with a focus on business development, ideally selling EdTech, SaaS solutions, or similar products.
