Key information
You’re not here to “smash key performance indicators” or “leverage synergies.”
You’re here to make a difference.
And if you’re tired of selling widgets and want to sell something that actually matters—education—keep reading.
About the role
AQA isn’t just another awarding body. We’re a not-for-profit with a mission: to advance education and help teachers and students realise their potential. That’s not marketing fluff—it’s why we exist.
We’ve built an innovative EdTech platform that’s changing how schools approach assessment. Now we need someone who can help us get it into the hands of the people who need it most.
That’s where you come in.
This isn’t a “smile and dial” sales job. You’ll be:
- Identifying and nurturing leads—not just chasing them.
- Running online demos that actually help people, not just tick boxes.
- Collaborating with smart, mission-driven teams across AQA to make sure every customer touchpoint is seamless.
- Helping schools solve real problems with real solutions.
Requirements
You’ll need to be self-motivated, digitally fluent (Teams, Zoom, CRM—you know the drill), and genuinely interested in education. If you’ve worked in EdTech or assessment before, great. If not, we’ll train you but you need to be experienced in sales for this contract.
What matters most? That you care about the customer, you’re curious, and you know how to build trust—remotely.
We will be interviewing for this role as suitable applications are received and may close this role before the closing date upon a successful candidate being appointed.
