Cape Town, South Africa Zen Educate Full time

**Location**: Remote start, office based within a few months. Cape Town.

**Type**:Full-time

**Working hours are expected to be**:
8AM - 5PM UK time. (10AM - 7PM SA time in Winter, 9AM - 6PM SA time in Summer)

Shorter days during some of August.

**Salary**:
Base: 20,000 - 35,000 Rand per month based on experience and performance.

Commission: 120,000 Rand per year target bonus (split and paid 6 times a year in line with school half-terms). Uncapped.

**About us**:
Zen is revolutionising education recruitment. Schools spend over £2bn a year on agency staff, and £600m of that goes straight into the pockets of recruitment agencies. That’s why we’ve built an alternative.

Our online platform gives schools instant access to hundreds of profiles of fully vetted teachers and support staff. Since launching in 2017, we’ve saved schools over £10m - money that goes straight back into school budgets and increases teachers’ pay.

**The opportunity**:
This is your chance to join a tech startup in hypergrowth. We’re passionate about professional development, and we’ll work to maximise your personal and career growth.

**Who we are looking for**
- 2+ two years experience in outbound B2B sales with high volume calls.
- Enthusiasm and an eagerness to learn. We will give you all the training and tools that you need to succeed
- Someone passionate and motivated, who loves being a part of a close team
- Proven track record of hitting sales targets
- Passion for companies that have a positive social impact and the education sector
- Strong bias to action

**What you'll be doing**
- Generate introductions to new schools that would benefit from using Zen Educate
- Lead school leaders through a successful onboarding process using a consultative approach
- Support school marketing efforts
- Work collaboratively with the sales, operations, and the technology team to continuously improve efficiency in delivering value to schools.
- 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

**Experience & Qualifications Required**
- A university degree is helpful but not essential
- Strong interest in sales
- Interest in the UK state education sector

**What's in it for you?**
- Work that you want to talk about
- Competitive salary
- 25 days of holiday
- Fun-loving, tight-knit team solving a problem that makes a difference
- 1-1 coaching

**Diversity and Inclusion**

At Zen, we strive to build a culture of equity and inclusion, where everyone is respected, valued and appreciated for their unique traits, experiences and perspectives. We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive and equitable environment where our team can thrive, regardless of age, ethnicity, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, disability, religion or beliefs. We value our differences and believe that practices of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion help us create a fairer, more compassionate environment for all.

We welcome applicants with diverse backgrounds and different experiences and perspectives — just like the staff who teach through Zen and the children at the schools we work with. We believe in hiring the best people from the widest pool and creating an inclusive culture where people’s voices are heard and all our team can look forward to coming to work.

We are committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of our community and promoting an equitable and inclusive environment for all. We seek out diverse opinions, beliefs, and experiences because they collectively make us stronger; we’ve had former teachers, pilots, fundraisers, engineers, lawyers, marketers, social media experts and more join our team.

**We can’t wait to hear from you**

**Salary**: R20,000.00 - R35,000.00 per month

Application Question(s):

- Written communication skills are an important part of this role. In a few sentences please describe why you are interested in this role and Zen Educate.
