Job Description & How to Apply Below
Our approach is simple: help first, sell second.
We believe the best partnerships are built on trust, creativity, and genuine value.
What You’ll Do
You’ll be a key player in our sales team, building relationships, uncovering opportunities, and shaping deals that make a real difference.
Day-to-day, you’ll:
* Identify and engage new clients across a range of further education verticals.
* Manage the full sales cycle from first outreach to closing the deal.
* Deliver standout presentations and proposals tailored to each client.
* Build trusted relationships with C-Suite, HR, L&D, Finance and senior stakeholders.
* Help clients link eLearning to their wider goals.
* Own your targets and celebrate your wins (big and small).
* Keep your pipeline spotless in Hub Spot and forecast accurately.
You’ll be given a fair level of autonomy but we’ll back you with everything you need to succeed.
What You’ll Be Selling
* LMS Platforms, ALS screening tools, digital bespoke and off the shelf learning content, AI automation tools.
* Bespoke eLearning solutions — creative, high-impact learning experiences built around each client’s culture, values, and objectives.
* What We’re Looking For
We’re not hung up on CVs or degrees — we care about drive, curiosity, and results.
Must-haves:
* 2+ years of proven B2B sales success (ideally in L&D, SaaS, or professional services).
* A solid track record of generating and closing new business.
* Confidence selling both off-the-shelf and custom solutions.
* Commercially sharp, organised, and target-driven.
* Excellent consultative sales skills and the ability to engage senior decision-makers.
* Nice-to-haves:
* Experience selling into Education, HR, L&D, or Talent functions.
* Background in eLearning, EdTech, or digital content.
* Familiarity with procurement processes and CRM tools (especially Hub Spot).
* What You’ll Get
We’re big believers in rewarding hard work — and making work a great place to be.
* Unlimited holidays
* Free gym membership
* Internal mentoring & external training
* Team days out & social events
* And most importantly:
* Work hard, stay ambitious, and have fun doing it.
* Be kind, creative, and resilient.
* Celebrate every success.
* Make a difference — to yourself, your team, and the sector
