Company:

SimpleStudy is a consumer AI platform for students. The company just closed a $4M seed round, with 1.5M + students across five primary markets: UK, Ireland, Brazil, South Africa, and Australia. Over ~40,000 new students join every week. The team is ~20 people, operating remotely with an office in Lisbon.

Notable investors include the first investors of Facebook and Revolut, and founders of Strava, and Intercom. The company is lean, product-obsessed, and deliberately not a typical education company — it's built consumer-first, with heavy PLG and A/B testing culture. 1 in 4 students in Ireland already use the product, and they want to do that for several hundred million students around the world.

Have you ever questioned what you're actually selling?

Or why you're spending your career making someone else rich?

Why you're expected to hit a number that was pulled out of a spreadsheet?

Why every sales org starts talking about "culture" while treating you like another cog in the machine?

If you've ever had those thoughts, keep reading.

Account Executive Role

We're not looking for someone who wants a comfortable AE role.

We're looking for someone who's genuinely great at selling and wants to help build something.

SimpleStudy is growing fast, and we're building a sales organisation from the ground up. That means you won't just be another AE carrying a quota. You'll have a genuine opportunity to influence how we sell, how we hire, how we win deals, and what this team becomes over the next few years.

If you've ever wanted to join before everything is already figured out, this is that opportunity.

What you'll be doing

Owning the full sales cycle—from prospecting through to close.

Working directly with schools to show them how SimpleStudy can improve outcomes for students.

Winning deals. Building relationships. Helping shape the playbook as we scale.

Who we're looking for

• 3+ years of full-cycle (360) closing experience in SaaS.

• A consistent track record of smashing quota.

• Someone who doesn't need a sales manager to tell them what to do next.

• Commercially sharp, highly competitive, and obsessed with getting better.

• Someone who wants ownership, not bureaucracy.

What you'll get

• £70,000–£110,000 base salary

• Competitive uncapped commission

• Equity

• Remote within the UK, with travel to schools as needed

Most companies hire AEs to execute someone else's process.

We're hiring someone to help build ours.

You'll still be expected to perform. The bar is high. But if you're the kind of salesperson who's outgrown being another number on a dashboard and wants to help build a sales team that great people actually want to join, we'd love to speak with you.

Let's build something worth winning.
