Company mission

Role
Who you are
- Top Performers: Startups are hard. We’re looking for relentless individuals with a proven track record of hitting/exceeding revenue targets
- Radical ownership: As a City Leader, you will need to wear many different hats in order to lead your team’s overall success and revenue growth. We’re looking for leaders who lean in and ask “What else is within my control to change?” when tackling problems and pursuing opportunities
- Revenue leadership: At least 2 years in a revenue leadership role
- Passion for Education: Share our passion for positively impacting education
- Strong Bias to Action: Proven ability to act with urgency, and roll up your sleeves to do whatever is needed to get the job done
What the job involves
- Strategic leadership: Define your region's launch and growth strategy, setting and achieving ambitious revenue targets
- Define and set targets: Own the overall end-to-end delivery of a new city including planning, hiring, people management, launch, and everything in between
- Leading consistent revenue growth in your city: Own the strategy for how to achieve consistent month over month growth in your region
- Build a high performing team that gets better and better every single month:
- Your team of Account Managers are responsible for delighting schools, and increasing their usage of Zen Educate’s educators and software
- Build and coach this strong commercial team to continuously improve service levels and usage in a particular geography
- Collaborate with other teams critical to your city and team’s success:
- Work hand in hand with Product to build the features and function that your school districts and educators need
- Work closely with our Educator Onboarding team and Marketing to ensure you are onboarding the right number of educators at the right time to staff certain roles
- Problem solve with Compliance to ensure Zen is meeting the compliance requirements of your state, city, and districts
- Strategize with Sales to ensure we are launching in new districts within your city, and expanding revenue as a result
- Relationship Management: Foster strategic partnerships with education leaders and key district accounts
- Execution & Enablement: Own the execution and drive performance improvement of the logistics and operations of dispatching teachers and teaching assistants to work in schools by developing tools, processes, and systems
- Get your hands dirty. Like any true start-up, no two weeks will be the same and a general interest in ‘mucking in’ and just getting the job done is crucial
Our take
With UK schools under immense financial pressure, Zen Educate is providing a smarter approach to education staffing. Recruitment in schools often relies on inefficient and expensive practices. Zen Educate is focused on tackling the pain points in the industry and providing a way to ensure schools get the best teachers possible.
It provides an online platform as an alternative to recruitment agencies, which is the only online platform accredited by the UK's Department of Education, helping schools fill staffing needs quickly and cost-effectively. Schools using the platform have reportedly saved 20-30% on supply cover costs.
Zen also operates Zen Locum, a service aimed at solving similar problems for pharmacies and opticians. This has already seen high uptake with over 500 new joiners a month. The company has also raised significant funding to support acquisitions in the UK and the US, plus the expansion of its operations and offering.
