The Opportunity

There are thousands of private tutors and small tutoring centres across the UK who have never heard of CENTURY. That's not a problem — it's your patch to unlock.

We are looking for a hungry salesperson who wants to own a genuinely untapped market, build a pipeline from scratch, and see their effort turn directly into results and reward. Every centre you win means more students getting personalised, AI-powered learning that changes their outcomes, so your targets actually mean something.

You will not be handed a script and left in a corner. You will join a close-knit, high-performing sales team who will back you, coach you, and give you a market to make your own from day one.

The Role

The Junior Partnership Executive will work closely within our Sales team to drive new business among small tutoring centres, an exciting, largely untapped market for CENTURY. You will be the first point of contact between CENTURY and prospective tutoring partners, generating leads, perfecting your pitch and booking the demonstrations that turn interest into deals.

This is a hands-on, targets-driven role for someone at the start of their sales career who wants ownership and the chance to grow fast.

Generating leads, booking and delivering demos

• Identify and target prospective tutoring centres across the UK, building your own pipeline from research and outreach
• Perfect a compelling pitch that conveys CENTURY's unique benefits to tutoring business owners and managers, over the phone and by email
• Acquire key information from prospects (student numbers, subjects, pain points, current tools) to qualify opportunities
• Organise and deliver product demonstrations with key decision-makers and guide prospective customers through the sales funnel
• Close deals based on quarterly and annual sales targets

Events and campaigns

• Work with the marketing and events team to recruit target-audience attendees to our virtual and in-person events
• Identify national and regional tutoring events to attend and exhibit at
• Drive registrations and conversions, and support promotion through social media, email campaigns and other outreach
• Support virtual and in-person events across all education sectors as part of a collaborative team effort

Building relationships

• Much of our success in the tutoring market comes through trust, referrals and word of mouth, so we're looking for someone who combines commercial drive with the ability to build genuine, long-term relationships
• Track and manage your prospect pipeline diligently in our CRM (HubSpot)
• Become a known and trusted CENTURY representative within the UK tutoring community
• Achieve agreed activity levels and sales targets, and provide regular updates to the Sales Director

Who You Are

This role is for a hungry, self-starting candidate who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You will bring:

• Drive and hunger – you see every prospective customer interaction as an opportunity to highlight the value CENTURY brings
• Strong verbal communication skills and natural enthusiasm
• A high level of emotional intelligence to read and navigate prospects' behaviour
• Excellent organisation and meticulous note-taking and pipeline tracking
• A genuine interest in technology and education (experience in EdTech or sales is a bonus, not a requirement)
• The right to work in the UK

What We're Offering

As well as a competitive salary and uncapped commission, we also offer:

• 25 days holiday (ability to roll over 5 days) + bank holidays
• An additional day off on your birthday, and we usually close between Christmas and New Year
• Hybrid working, with a fantastic Central London office
• Ongoing training and personal development, with a clear progression path
• Enhanced parental leave
• Regular company social events (in person and online)

This is an entry-level position, but CENTURY is committed to developing exceptional individuals.
