About Us
InvestIN Education is a dynamic, fast-paced education organisation that helps students choose their future career and prepare for their next steps with confidence. Since our foundation in 2012, we've provided over 70,000 students from 100+ countries with the 'ultimate work experience'. Our immersive programmes are all led by industry professionals and guide students in their next steps through simulations, site visits, and networking opportunities.
We also work with 1,400+ schools across the globe. Last academic year, we launched The Career School, a paid-in-school product to help students explore careers and develop skills. This has been extremely well received and continues to grow from strength to strength.
About the Role
As an Account Manager, you will sit at a central point within our school partnerships team. You will personally own the highest-value accounts across the UK and beyond, plus support the execution of team strategy to drive retention and revenue growth across the team. Your main focus will be growing The Career School across our network, plus any uptick in Summer Experience revenue will be an added bonus.
You will be responsible for supporting the junior Account Managers and aiding the success of their portfolio of schools. You’ll also work closely with the Head of Schools to report on school performance, identify gaps and opportunities, and ensure the team is working efficiently to hit targets.
This role is for someone with experience in account management or partnerships, who is looking to apply more commerciality and eventual line management to their role.
What You'll Be Doing
Above & Beyond Account Management
- Own and manage a portfolio of InvestIN’s highest value and most complex partner schools – identify needs and go the extra mile to maintain and grow relationships.
- Conduct regular check-in calls and in-person visits with partners to maintain engagement and understanding of InvestIN.
- Be an active face for your relationships – attending school events, careers fairs, and delivering engaging presentations to students, parents, and teachers across the globe.
