Are you a career-driven professional? Passionate about education and want to make a difference? Interested in education technology? This might be the role for you



The company

Based in Northampton, our client is an Education Technology company that produces award-winning reading and writing support software for children of all ages and abilities.


Hailed as ‘the gold standard of literacy software,’ our products are used in thousands of schools worldwide, supporting learners with dyslexia, learning difficulties, physical disabilities, and other special educational needs.


The company has been active since 1991, is active in 23 different countries, and has won 12 prestigious awards. They have recently moved to a SaaS model and are on a significant growth curve.



The role

You’ll be the main point of contact for all customers (schools) within the agreed region, with the central aim of maintaining existing school renewals and sourcing new schools.


No day is ever the same – from hosting top-tips webinars and chatting to teachers and school representatives at a buzzing exhibition to introducing schools to the transformative power of their products at staff meetings – there’s always an exciting challenge on the horizon.


You will be part of a supportive team and will be involved in the full sales cycle, including calls, online meetings, the preparation of quotes, and customer care follow-up. Throughout, you will have access to technical and educational specialists who will provide you with a full understanding of the software and its place within the education system.


Day-to-day includes:

  • Providing one-to-one web demonstrations of the company’s products to schools.
  • Attending local and national exhibitions to showcase the company’s products.
  • Managing a personal diary of online demonstrations, customer care meetings and other activities.
  • Following up sales leads to complete the sales cycle.
  • Responding to school enquiries by telephone and email.
  • Keeping up to date with product developments.



The package

  • Competitive starting salary
  • High-earning opportunity with a rewarding commission plan
  • Hybrid working is available – Tuesdays and Fridays are optional work-from-home days.
  • 28 days holiday + bank holidays + 3 personal days when needed, i.e., for a duvet day – we all need one sometimes
  • Company goal to become carbon-neutral
  • Christmas and summer parties
  • Lots of involvement with local charity work
  • Building and growing products that make a real difference to children’s lives
  • The US team visits once per year, and they do a week’s worth of fun events
  • Excellent employee retention – lots of people have been with the business for several years
  • Very secure – no scare or job risk from the potential recession
  • Company pension



To be successful, you will…

  • Have high levels of enthusiasm, energy and determination
  • Be competent with IT
  • Be commercially aware
  • Take initiative
  • Be resilient
  • Enjoy team working
  • Have a real drive to achieve targets
  • Have excellent verbal and written communication
  • Have great organisational skills and the ability to multitask
  • Be confident speaking on the phone
  • Have excellent presentation and demonstration skills
