Job description
I’m working with an exceptional, rapidly growing education technology company that is looking to appoint an Account Executive to its expanding UK team.
The business has enjoyed impressive growth over the past few years and is building a strong presence across the UK education market. I’ve placed several people with the company who are doing exceptionally well, and the feedback about the culture, leadership and opportunity has been consistently positive.
This is a new business-focused sales role, working with schools and Multi-Academy Trusts. You’ll manage the full sales cycle, from prospecting and initial conversations through to demonstrations, negotiation and close.
It’s a highly visible, customer-facing position. You’ll spend plenty of time meeting school leaders in person, attending conferences and events, delivering engaging demonstrations and building relationships across the education sector.
The role will include:
* Developing new business across schools and Multi-Academy Trusts
* Managing the complete sales process from prospecting through to close
* Delivering compelling product demonstrations
* Building relationships with senior education stakeholders
* Representing the company at conferences, exhibitions and customer events
* Maintaining a strong and accurately forecasted sales pipeline
* Working closely with marketing, customer success and the wider commercial team
* Contributing to the continued growth of the UK business
Requirements
We’re looking for someone with:
* A successful track record in new business sales

* Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders and decision-makers
* Strong presentation and demonstration skills
* The ability to manage a full sales cycle and close business
* A proactive, energetic and commercially driven approach
* An interest in education and improving outcomes for schools and pupils
Previous experience selling into UK schools or Multi-Academy Trusts would be a major advantage.
The company has a fantastic Central London office with excellent transport links, an on-site gym and plenty of great places nearby. The team works from the office four days per week, so candidates must be comfortable with a predominantly office-based working model.
Package:
* Basic salary up to £55,000
* £25,000–£50,000 commission potential
* Uncapped earning opportunity
* Central London office
* Regular customer meetings, conferences and industry events
* Genuine progression within a fast-growing international EdTech company
This is a brilliant opportunity to join an ambitious business at an exciting stage of its growth. You’ll be selling a highly engaging product, working with a talented team and joining a company where successful salespeople are being given the opportunity to thrive.
