Director of Sales
Location: London (Oval), United Kingdom
Type: Full-time. Office-based.
UK schools spend well over £2bn per year on covering short-term absences with supply teachers. The current model exclusively relies on agencies that charge a massive commission and are terribly inefficient (everything is paper and phone-call-based). We are consolidating this analogue, fragmented, and inefficient marketplace onto a digital platform. Think Uber for supply teachers. In the process, we're pulling hundreds of millions of waste out of the education system and making a huge positive impact on teachers and schools. Zen allows them to reliably connect and get back to what really matters … our children!
Looking to make a difference?
We are well-funded by high-profile investors and are led by start-up veterans behind two of London's most prominent tech companies.
You’ll be joining Zen in a key position. As Director of Sales you’ll be responsible for increasing the rate at which we acquire and retain longstanding customers.
Our sales processes have served us well so far and now with a team of over 20 people, we’re looking for someone to take our sales machine to the next level.

Diversity and inclusion
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 atmosphere with a culture where people’s voices are heard and all our team can look forward to coming to work.
We value and respect all differences in all people (seen and unseen). We believe in an environment with equal access to career development opportunities and actively encourage applications from BAME candidates.
