About The Position

At Zen, we are dedicated to transforming how schools find the necessary staff to ensure children can thrive. The ongoing shortage of teachers and support staff, exacerbated by the pandemic, leaves millions of students in understaffed classrooms and specialist programs. Traditional agencies often impose high markups, straining school budgets. Zen offers an alternative solution through an online platform that provides schools with immediate access to a large pool of fully vetted teachers and support staff. Since our founding in 2017, we have saved schools over $30 million globally, enabling them to reinvest in their budgets and increase teacher compensation. This is an opportunity to join an ed-tech startup that is actively reshaping the education landscape. You will be at the forefront of innovation, making a tangible impact by transforming school operations, ensuring classrooms are adequately staffed, and saving the education system significant funds. Our rapid growth provides ample opportunities for career and impact advancement within the education sector. We are seeking enthusiastic, mission-driven individuals who align with our values and are passionate about our work. We encourage applications even if your experience doesn't perfectly match the description, as some of our top sales performers began their careers as Business Development Representatives.
