Want to revolutionise the future of education and do meaningful work that transforms future generations’ lives?
EdTech company Crimson Education was founded in 2013 from the idea that through personalised education, we can transform students into the world leaders of tomorrow. Since then, we have rapidly grown a mission-driven team that is dedicated to building the education system for the 22nd century. Our network includes 2,400 tutors and consultants worldwide who work with over 20,000 students.
Our tech platform connects tutors and mentors to high school students aiming to achieve admission and scholarships to top universities in the US, UK and beyond.
The Role
We are looking for an ambitious, entry-level Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join our UK & Europe team. You’ll be the first point of contact for prospective students and families — reaching out, qualifying interest, and booking meetings for our Academic Advisors.
Alongside outbound sales, you’ll also represent Crimson at career days, expos, and school events, helping us build relationships and generate leads. You’ll work closely with the Partnerships Manager, who leads Partnership strategy, while you focus on implementation and frontline sales outreach.
This is a fast-paced sales role, perfect for someone competitive, looking to learn and grow in business, and eager to grow into a full Account Executive down the line.
This is a full-time position suitable for someone based in England/UK who can travel domestically and around Europe as required. The position is hybrid with some travel into London for meetings/events and further afield as required. Candidates must be UK resident/UK passport holder. Strong interest in education and some sales experience preferred.
The ideal candidate will be dynamic, able to build rapport easily, be teachable, and have a growth mindset.

* Support the Partnerships Manager with the implementation of school-facing activities (career days, competitions, expos).
* Consistently hit and exceed weekly and monthly targets for booked meetings and lead generation.
* Keep detailed records of outreach, pipeline activity, and outcomes.
