Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa Hyperiondev Full time

ABOUT USHyperionDev is one of the largest providers of accelerated tech education in EMEA and one of the oldest providers of 'coding bootcamps' in the world.

We work with top universities such as Imperial College London, The London School of Economics, The University of Edinburgh, and Stellenbosch University to deliver structured technical courses and bootcamps that accelerate people into fulfilling tech careers.

We have been recognised as one of the top education technology scaleups in the world and gained the financial backing of Meta (previously Facebook) which recognised us as the most socially impactful startup operating in Africa, where we initially started our work.

We are dedicated to closing the global tech skills gap and we achieve this by integrating tech education with human mentorship and expert code review powered by a workforce in Southern Africa, which lowers the cost of an accessible education in technology.

This model has been successful, allowing us to reach millions of learners a year from over 60 countries.

We have also partnered with government bodies such as the UK's Department for Education who provide scholarships for students to study on our bootcamps and gain employment at companies such as AstraZeneca and the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS).

We're backed by nearly 2000 investors, having raised the largest crowdfunding round of funding for an edtech company in history.

As a primarily bootstrapped, profitable, and scale up tech business join us as we play our part in making the world a more stable, safer, and fair place.

ABOUT THE ROLEIn this role, you will own and drive growth in all revenue streams for HyperionDev's coding education product, and lead our Admissions, Learnerships, Collections and Student Success teams.

You will take ownership of both our B2C admissions strategy, where you will manage and improve our processes for engaging and closing applicants (our leads), and craft strategies for Revenue enhancement which include unlocking new channels of facilitating student payments through student loan financing.

As a Department Lead at HyperionDev, you will work within the senior management team to help in building, influencing and managing the culture of the organisation.

In leading the B2B side of our revenue funnel, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and executing our strategy for engaging with South African companies through Learnerships programmes.

You will spearhead the development of strong, enduring relationships with key stakeholders in these organisations, understanding their needs and challenges, and positioning HyperionDev as the go-to partner for addressing their talent development requirements.

You will manage and build further our Admissions, Learnerships, Collections and Student Success teams, setting weekly and monthly targets, and enabling a positive, motivated and productive culture within your department.

You will plan your department's growth, evolution and hiring blueprint.

You will draw upon your sales experience and analytical skills to improve our lead to sale conversion ratios and ensure that lead generation spend is optimised by having a data-driven, people-forward approach.

As we rapidly expand into new international territories, you will work on solving the complexities of scaling an edtech sales team out of Cape Town to convert and enrol students from the UK, US and Europe.

You will set up and own KPIs for your department, forecast admissions and revenues based on the pipeline for business planning, and work with the CEO and management team on strategic planning.

You will also work with Marketing to iterate upon our understanding, tracking and generation of quality leads.

To succeed in this role, you must have a proven track record of commercial sales experience (experience in education / tech will be advantageous), leadership of a sales team, excellent communication skills, an excellent understanding of technology, and a track record of exceeding targets with sales teams headed by yourself.

You should be excited about working within a rapidly scaling startup, and motivated with the knowledge that our courses and education methodology change the lives of people for the better.

You must be ambitious and want to make the most of the tremendous opportunities you'll have being a core part of an ambitious, fast-growing team, with resources to scale.
