Job Description

Education changes lives. But tech hasn’t lived up to its promise for the more than 1 billion students in school around the world - at least not yet. At Kognity, we’re here to change that.

We're a 125-person EdTech scale-up powering learning in 140+ countries, helping students and teachers thrive through an intelligent platform that combines rich, interactive pedagogy with smart AI and data.

Why join Kognity?

  • Work on problems that matter – Your work directly influences the lives of teachers and students in over 140 countries. The scale is global, and the outcomes are tangible.

  • High ownership, high expectations – You are trusted to take initiative, make decisions and drive outcomes. Responsibility comes early, accountability is real, and results matter.

  • A fast-moving, high-performing team – You will work with smart, driven colleagues across the globe on complex problems. Standards and expectations are high, feedback is direct, and the pace is fast.

  • Continuous growth is the baseline – Everyone is expected and supported to learn quickly, improve constantly and raise their own bar. If you enjoy responsibility, momentum and meaningful challenge, you will thrive here.

What you'll do:

You'll own a global school portfolio with genuine autonomy to shape how high-volume account management works at scale. AI and automation are central to the role, giving you a visible impact beyond your own role. You'll also travel across the world, building direct relationships with customers beyond email and calls.

  • Identify and implement AI and automation workflows to reduce manual effort in account management operations and share best practices with the wider team

  • Work within our evolving AI-native CRM system to flag risk early, log touchpoints ahead of renewal windows, and prioritise accounts by risk based on portfolio data and health signals

  • Support the Customer Success and Customer Engagement teams to ensure account managers own relationships with school leadership while ground-level teachers are supported through dedicated resources

What we're looking for:

  • Prior experience in a SaaS account management or customer success role, with a demonstrated understanding of what good renewal and retention motion looks like in practice

  • Proactivity and ownership mentality, with the ability to thrive in ambiguity and work effectively within systems that are still evolving

  • Genuine curiosity about AI tools and automation, with evidence of having independently explored or used these technologies

  • Comfort working in a data-informed way, reading CRM signals, drawing conclusions from portfolio data, and making prioritisation decisions based on risk
