Account Executive - EdTech SaaS

Want to sell a product with real impact on education? Synmatch AI’s client is building an agentic operating system for the classroom of the future. Their AI platform is deeply embedded in everyday school workflows from lesson preparation and delivery to analysis—and is already used at scale in schools. Backed by strong investors, they’re growing fast with the goal of becoming Europe’s leading AI platform for schools.

In this role, you’ll own the full sales cycle from first contact to close, working directly with school leaders, school authorities, and other decision-makers. As an early member of the sales team, you’ll shape how sales is executed and scaled, and you’ll feed market insights back into marketing and product.
