Hyperion Dev 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 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 NHS. We are backed by nearly 2000 investors and have raised the largest crowdfunding round of funding for an edtech company in history.

In this role, you will consult with people seeking a career change about technical education, employment options, and career progression. As a trusted expert, you will understand potential customers’ education needs and career goals and match these future goals with the bootcamp programs we offer through Hyperion Dev and University Partners worldwide. These programs are designed to help those in non‑tech careers switch to full‑time coding jobs.

You will manage the customer relationship from lead assignment to enrollment. You will be in a position of responsibility within the team, with substantial growth opportunities. You should be motivated by the knowledge that our courses improve people’s lives, be ambitious, and want to make the most of the opportunities in a small but fast‑growing team. You must have a passion for emerging technologies and real‑world programming use cases, a proven track record of 3+ years of professional, solution‑based consultation experience, excellent communication skills, and a history of meeting and exceeding targets.

This role covers Australian hours (01:00-10:00).

• Manage the student application process, including scheduling and conducting interviews, providing guidance to prospective students on our courses, communicating the value of our experience, and keeping applicants engaged and informed throughout the process.
