• You’re passionate about making real world impact on the education system.
• You think BIG, not only incrementally. In three years the revenue operations function will be unrecognisable from where it is now.
• You’re process-led and hyper-structured. You plan meticulously to deliver commercial results by building playbooks that don’t rely on you on an ongoing basis.

What your first 6-12 months might look like:

• Turbo charge the sales team by taking over the management of our recent hubspot implementation.
• Motivate a high performing account management team even further by improving the commissions process.
• Deliver world class service to our largest customers by designing processes that connect commercial contracts to the finance process seamlessly.
• Increase profitability by implementing automation to replace repetitive admin carried out by commercial ICs.

Who you’ll work with

We’re a 500+ (and growing!) team operating across the UK, US, and Canada. We’re well funded, growing fast, and have tremendous unit economics. Simply put, we’re doing really well by doing good. As such, we’re a passionate group of missionaries rather than mercenaries. We’re looking to find someone who shares our passion for the mission of making education better.

What you might like or dislike

Every place makes trade-offs based on what they value and where they are in their journey.

Here’s a list of things you might find useful in figuring out if this is the right role for you. If we end up chatting, feel free to dig deeper into any of them.

• Slope and passion over Y Intercept. High-trajectory individuals with a passion for what they do very quickly lap those with a higher initial starting point in their domain but slower trajectory. That means that how you go about tackling hard unstructured problems matters more to us than your experience with a specific tool or industry.
• First principles reasoning rather than replicating other companies best practices: we believe every situation has nuance. Experience is an input in decision making, but not the only one. The leaders that do best are endlessly curious and deconstruct problems to first principles. They’re not just making decisions because they’ve seen them work at previous companies, they experiment a lot and double down only on the successful ones.
• Building the system rather than individual heroics: having great players on the pitch is critical. However, a great system trumps the best performer without one. We’ve got a product with genuine product market-fit that makes our customers lives better. We’re looking for someone who can level up systems and then extract themselves from them to tackle the next big problem.

🎁 Perks & benefits

• Competitive salary + ownership in the company.
• 25 days holiday + all the usual UK public holidays.

• 1-1 coaching to keep you growing personally and professionally.
• Life & Health Insurance, Cycle to Work Scheme, Electric Car Scheme.
• Join a certified B Corp: where your work creates a real, positive impact.
