You don’t have to tick every single box, but we think you’ll thrive here if you’re:
Naturally enthusiastic and curious (we’ll train you on everything else!)
Confident picking up the phone, handling objections, and building trust fast
Someone with a proven track record of hitting sales targets (or smashing similar KPIs)
A team player who loves being part of a close-knit group
Passionate about having a positive social impact (bonus points if you care deeply about education)
Someone with a growth mindset is always looking to learn and improve
You want a role where your work has a tangible social impact
You like fast-paced environments where things are always evolving
You’re excited about the idea of working in a mission‑driven startup that’s scaling rapidly
What the job involves
Hi, I’m Josie, Head of Account Management for Bristol at Zen Educate, and I’m looking for recruitment consultants who want to tackle a very real, very important problem: helping schools get the teachers they need, when they need them, without wasting millions on old‑school recruitment agencies
If you’re someone who loves building relationships, solving meaningful problems, and being part of a mission‑driven team… this might be your thing
This isn’t your standard “manage a few accounts and send a few emails” kind of job. As an Account Manager at Zen, you’ll be:
Owning relationships with key schools helping them hire smarter and faster
Leading school leaders through recruitment processes with a consultative approach
Picking up the phone and building genuine relationships (yes, there’s outbound calling, but it’s about helping, not just selling)
Collaborating closely with Sales, Ops, and our Tech team to make sure schools get the best possible experience
Rolling up your sleeves and diving into whatever’s needed, this is a startup, so no two weeks look the same
Here’s a typical snapshot of what you might do in a week:
Chat to a Headteacher about how they can save £10k this term by switching to Zen
Source a teacher who is a perfect match for your school
Follow up with a school that’s already using Zen and find ways to expand their usage
Share feedback with our product team about what schools really needs in the platform
Work with our Ops team to make sure a tricky booking gets sorted
Jump into a quick brainstorm with the team to improve how we build pipeline
