Your impact
We are looking for a dynamic sales manager who would enjoy the challenge of selling impactful technology that helps kids learn maths and English!
Do you have the drive & experience to close deals with large organisations and do you have the management skills to get the most out of a talented and passionate new business team?
Sumdog's Mission
We aim to narrow the attainment gap by helping every child reach their full potential. Sumdog's games-based maths & English practice & assessment apps are used by primary and middle school pupils in the UK and USA. Sumdog is unique in the way it engages even the most disenchanted pupils.
We're at the forefront of an exciting data-driven ed-tech revolution. We capture a detailed understanding of each child's strengths and weaknesses and use this to deliver personalised learning that identifies gaps in knowledge and closes them.
The results are spectacular. A published research study found pupils using Sumdog for just 30 minutes weekly progressed in maths fluency almost twice as fast as those who didn't.

As Sumdog's Head of Sales, you will report to the Sales & Marketing director.
Every time the new business team wins a new school, that's hundreds more children whose education is positively impacted. In this role, you can truly change the future of the next generation!
