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.
