Head of Marketing & Sales

Salary Competitive
Equity To be negotiated

£@“1 ()&#¤¤ €#%&! #€=*#%? Feeling confused? 250 million children globally cannot read or write. Education for all children is identified by the United Nations as the key factor to reduce poverty and strengthen democracy worldwide. So, what has that got to do with you? Well, you can be part of the solution.



We’re looking for our Head of Marketing and Sales to join us in this phase of scale. Together with you, we would secure our first customers, take the first steps towards sustainable growth and impact on millions of children and societies worldwide.

What would a typical day be like?

We really hope that no day will be typical, that you feel free and supported in being innovative in communicating with our customers, partners and community. But to give you a hunch, one day could start with cold calling sales leads or negotiating a sales deal over video call with an organization in East Africa, continuing with you helping out in arranging a Lara hackathon to build community, or create a social media campaign to collect used tablets that we can send to our partner learning centers in Uganda. Later that week you are probably setting up a customer survey and a plan on how to best leverage our network and social media tools to collect feedback on our beta from parents in Kenya.

What is in it for you?

The right candidate will have the chance to get equity in the company. The role is structured as a mainly unpaid part time assignment (25-50%), with the aim of it evolving into full time within 6-12 months. Right now, we have a dedicated team, a basic working product, the desperate need in the market and interested users already learning with our product. Together, in the next 12 months, we are aiming at generating revenue and when we do, we’d love you to join full-time. So, at this very moment, we offer you flexibility, stock options and an opportunity to create a big impact for children through education.
