Hi, I’m Daryl, VP of Supply and Operations at Zen Educate
I have been part of Zen’s phenomenal growth since we launched in 2017, and I am looking for a Strategy and Operations Manager in Cape Town.
🌍 What we’re building and why
Here’s the challenge: UK schools spend over £2 billion a year on temporary staff. But £600m of that goes straight into the pockets of recruitment agencies, money that should be going back into classrooms and teachers’ pay. So we’re doing things differently.
Zen Educate is an online platform that gives schools instant access to fully vetted teachers and support staff. Since launching in 2017, we’ve already saved schools over £30 million, that’s gone straight back to where it matters most. We've just closed a $37m Series B (the biggest EdTech round in Europe last year!), and we’re scaling fast in the UK and the US 🚀. We are incredibly proud to be a Certified B Corporation™! It’s an exciting time to join, have a huge impact, and grow alongside us.

- How many educators to recruit and where
- How much to spend on new leads vs reactivating existing leads
- How to improve our processes to provide candidates a great experiences
- How to make sure all our regions have the liquidity needed to meet the demands of their schools
All of these decisions are ones which can be improved. This role exists to fix that. You'll own the ana...
