🏫 About This is School
This is School is where lessons get life. We’re the UK’s leading platform for MFL and growing fast in the US - with World Languages and Science departments now joining the party. Our content blends real-world video, interactive exercises, and smart tools that save teachers time and boost student progress. We work with 10,000+ teachers and over a million students across the UK, US and international schools. And we’re just getting started.
💼 Role
This is a hands-on, full-cycle sales role for someone who wants to build something, not just manage a pipeline. You’ll be based in the UK, but work across two exciting markets, with a strong emphasis on the US:
* US Districts (World Languages + Science)
* UK Multi-Academy Trusts (MFL, Geography, Science)
You’ll spend your time reaching out to new prospects, running discovery and demo calls, guiding trials, handling objections, and ultimately closing new business. You’ll also hop on a plane 6–8 times a year for US conferences, district meetings, and strategy sessions.
We’re looking for someone smart, confident and comfortable being slightly out of their depth - this role involves talking to teachers across multiple subject areas, asking great questions, and helping them solve problems. You'll need to be quick to learn, great with people, and excited by the challenge.
🚀 Key responsibilities
* Drive new business across the US and UK markets
* Sell across World Languages, Science, MFL and Geography
* Own the full sales cycle: prospecting, qualifying, demoing, trial support, closing
* Tailor each pitch to the specific goals of teachers and curriculum leads
* Build strong relationships with district supervisors, MAT curriculum leads, and classroom teachers
* Maintain a clean, accurate pipeline in HubSpot
* Travel to the US 6–8 times per year (fully expensed)
✅ What we're looking for
* Proven sales experience - ideally in EdTech, curriculum or SaaS
* Confident and excellent communicator (especially on video and phone)
* Self-starter who thrives on autonomy and loves to hustle!
* Able to grasp curriculum priorities across different subjects quickly
* Genuine interest in how teachers think and what they need
* Comfortable working across time zones and school calendars
* Not afraid to be out of your comfort zone—this job covers a lot of ground!
Bonus points if you:
* Have taught or sold into World Languages, MFL or Science departments
* Know the ACTFL Can-Do statements, Seal of Biliteracy, or UK GCSE specs
* Have worked with MATs or District-level buyers
* Know your way around HubSpot or similar
💰 Compensation & perks
* £45,000 base salary
* Uncapped commission – £70,000 OTE
* Expensed US travel (6–8 trips/year)
* Coaching, progression, and training from a top-tier sales team
* Become part of a passionate and forward-thinking team
* Fun and energetic working environment
* We aim for 40 hour weeks
* 30 days' holiday
* Working for a company that helps students learn
* Full remote (with regular company get-togethers)
