We are looking for team members to join a company that is already recognised as one of the top education technology startups in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Our team consists of former Google and Amazon employees who have scaled products to hundreds of thousands of users, and we are looking for team members who are competitive, ambitious and have a track record of over-achieving and exceeding targets.
In this role, you will be speaking to aspiring developers to help them understand the requirements and opportunities of becoming a developer through HyperionDev.. As a trusted expert, you will consult potential students to understand their educational needs and career goals to match their future goals with one of our Hyperion Development online and on-site coding bootcamps which are designed to help those in non-tech careers switch to full-time coding jobs. You will manage the customer relationship from lead assignment to enrollment.
As an experienced consultant, you will be in a position of responsibility within the team, with substantial growth opportunities. You will assist the Head of Admissions in defining the sales strategy and processes, and optimising the metrics set for your team. You should be excited about not just working hard in a small but rapidly growing startup, but building it with your own direct ownership in the business. You must be hungry to convert prospects into students with the knowledge that our courses change the lives of people for the better. You must be ambitious and want to make the most of the tremendous opportunities you'll have being a core part of a small but fast-growing team.
WHY CHOOSE HYPERIONDEV?
You will be joining a high performance, culturally diverse team who believe in cross collaboration and teamwork - Meeting sales targets and sleighing dragons as the hero’s they are, but as our brand grows, so does the interest and our team of hero’s need more hands on deck. Weekly games nights help blow off some steam and connect with your team.
