Role: Account Executive Location: London, on-site during term time Salary: £45,000 - 55,000k OTE (uncapped commission) 👋 Hi, I’m Jordan, Head of New Business at Zen Educate …and I’m looking for Senior Account Executives who want to take on a big challenge: helping schools save millions by changing how they hire, vet, upskill and retain their teaching staff.
If you love building relationships with senior leaders, closing deals, and making a genuine difference in education — this might be the perfect next step for you. 🌍 What we’re building (and why it matters) Here’s the problem: UK schools spend over £2 billion a year on temporary staff — and £600 million of that goes straight to recruitment agencies.
Since launching in 2017, we’ve already saved schools over £30 million that’s gone straight back into classrooms.
🎁 What’s in it for you - Meaningful work — every deal you close helps schools save money and teachers get paid more.
- Competitive salary + commission + equity.
- Life & Health Insurance, Cycle to Work Scheme, Electric Car Scheme.

We’ve built an online platform that connects schools directly with fully vetted teachers and support staff — cutting out agencies and saving schools money - and a game-changing suite of software tools that revolutionises their processes.
We recently raised $37 million in Series B funding (the biggest EdTech round in Europe last year!) and we’re scaling fast in the UK and US. 🚀 Now we’re growing our New Business team — and we need senior sales professionals who can help us win and grow strategic school partnerships across the UK. 💼 What this role looks like day-to-day This isn’t your typical “call some leads and move on” kind of sales job.
