About us:

At Zen, we’re changing how schools find the staff needed for kids to thrive. There is a severe shortage of teachers and the support staff needed to support all children, accelerated by the pandemic. Millions of students experience understaffed classrooms and specialist programs. Schools looking to fill these roles with traditional agencies spend billions of dollars in high agency markups, which further hampers budgets and leads to more problems down the line.

That’s why we’ve developed an alternative solution. Our online platform provides schools instant access to hundreds of fully vetted teachers and support staff. Since our inception in 2017, we've saved schools over $30 million globally, reinvesting that money back into school budgets and increasing teachers’ pay. 

The opportunity:

Join an ed-tech startup that's reshaping education. This is your chance to be at the forefront of change, where innovation meets impact. We're not just selling a product – we're transforming the way schools operate, filling classrooms with the staff needed for kids to thrive and saving the education system millions of dollars along the way.

We’re also growing at a rapid pace. This type of growth allows you to grow your impact and your career, while making a tangible difference in the education sector.

We're looking for enthusiastic, mission-driven people who fit our values and are passionate about what we do. You’re encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't exactly match the job description, some of Zen’s highest performing sales people started their career in sales as a Growth Rep!
