  * Deliver tailored product demonstrations and articulate clear ROI

  * Manage complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles

  * Respond to tenders and procurement processes

  * Collaborate with marketing and product teams to refine messaging and go-to-market strategy

  * Maintain accurate pipeline forecasting and CRM management

What We’re Looking For

  * Proven B2B sales experience (ideally in EdTech, SaaS, or higher education solutions)

  * Strong understanding of apprenticeships and/or the UK HE sector

  * Track record of closing complex, consultative deals

  * Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills

  * Self-starter mindset with a results-driven approach

Desirable

  * Experience selling apprenticeship or compliance platforms

  * Knowledge of ESFA requirements and funding rules

  * Existing network within higher education

What’s in It for You

  * Uncapped commission structure

  * Opportunity to shape a high-growth EdTech business

  * Flexible working environment

  * Professional development and career progression

  * Meaningful impact on the future of education and skills
