Change the world of early years education with us
At Owly, we're rebuilding the operating system for early years. Our nursery management platform helps settings cut admin time, stay compliant, keep parents connected, and give children better care. We've proven the model in Malta, and now we're bringing it to the UK, one of the most exciting and demanding early years markets in the world.
This is a founding commercial hire for our UK push. You won't be inheriting a playbook. You'll be writing it.
What you'll do
- Own the UK pipeline end to end, from prospecting nurseries and nursery groups to closing deals and handing off happy customers
- Run outbound that actually lands: cold outreach, demos, follow-ups, and relationship-building with nursery owners, managers, and group decision-makers
- Be the voice of the UK market internally, feeding insights back to product, marketing, and leadership
- Hit and beat revenue targets, with the autonomy to experiment on channels and messaging
- Build the early sales motion that future hires will scale
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who you are
- 3+ years in B2B sales or business development, ideally SaaS, with bonus points for EdTech, early years, or selling to SMBs
- A genuine hunter: comfortable with outbound, resilient to "no," energized by building from scratch
- Strong understanding of the UK early years / nursery sector (or the appetite to learn it fast)
- Consultative seller who listens first, then solves
- Self-directed and thrive in a startup pace without hand-holding
