Job Description
Sales Operations Manager
Location: London (On-site)
45000 - 60000 per annum
Hi Im Amr Growth Operations Lead at Zen Educate.
Im hiring a Sales Operations Manager to grease the wheels of our growing commercial team.
Salespeople want to spend time with customers not fighting with spreadsheets or broken processes. I care a lot about making that possible. We need someone obsessed with efficiency who loves setting up clean reliable systems powered by data automation and just the right amount of process. If thats you keep reading.
Why this matters
Zen is transforming education staffing. UK schools spend over 2bn a year on agency staff 600m of that goes straight to recruiters. We built a better way: a tech-driven platform that connects schools with teachers directly saving time money and stress.
Since launching in 2017 weve saved schools over 30 million and were just getting started. In 2024 we closed the largest EdTech round in Europe and are expanding fast in the UK and US.
Our commercial team is over 100 people strong. Youll be the operational backbone that helps them go further faster without the drag of bad data or clunky processes.
What youll actually do
Lets get specific. Heres the kind of work youll lead:
Build dashboards that show salespeople their potential earnings in real time so they stay motivated and focused.
Create concise actionable daily reporting tools for each commercial leader so they can course-correct fast.
Partner with Finance and streamline commission payouts so people get paid accurately and on time.
Build reporting to monitor supply vs demand balance across markets giving leadership insight on where to intervene.
And beyond that Spot inefficiencies. Fix them. Do it fast and without needing permission. Your work directly impacts how 100 people operate each day.
Why this role is unique
Youll work daily with our senior commercial leadership team not just behind the scenes.
Your work influences a lot of people helping them be faster sharper and better at their jobs.
Youll get ownership and autonomy to build systems and processes that scale across teams and geographies.
Youll help shape the next phase of Zens growth with real visibility and impact.
What makes you a great fit
Youll thrive here if:
Youre obsessive about efficiency. If something takes too long for you or others you cant rest until its fixed.
You understand that accurate data is sacred because important decisions and peoples pay rely on it.
You believe salespeople should be unleashed not shackled by admin.
You care about team success over personal glory.
You optimise for long-term impact not just short-term wins or flashy tech.
You care about working at a company that makes a real difference in the world.
What wont work here
Lets be honest some mindsets dont fit:
You love cool tech for techs sake but dont focus on real-world impact.
You ship data work without thoroughly checking accuracy and reliability.
You need someone to constantly nudge you to spot problems or drive improvements.
Our hiring process
We believe in moving fast and respecting your time.
1. Intro call with me (Amr) to check youre human can communicate effectively and cover some of the basics like compensation benefits and availability.
2. Technical task and review Ill share a task for you to complete at home (estimated time 45-60 mins) and send back. Youll then talk through what you did and explain your approach to me and another commercial manager.
3. Business understanding Youll speak to a senior commercial leader and dive deeper into your understanding of sales operations challenges and how they apply to a labour marketplace like ours.
