Company
Our organisation is all about the future generation and ensuring that they get the best education. We are one of the fastest-growing EdTech start-ups in the UK with a vision to help 10 million students enter formal education by 2030.
What we do
Purlos helps improve the students experience by decreasing learner drop out at different points of the journey, and replacing outdated methods of communications with modern approaches like WhatsApp.
Currently we are focusing on the start and the end of the learner journey, whether that’s converting more learners during enrolment, or tracking learners into a job more effectively once they leave an institution.
We've created a digital assistant to connect to students and greatly improve their support at different stages of the learner journey. We automate this engagement and analyse it at scale to make things more efficient for our clients (Further education college, Universities, and training providers).
Role
As an Account Executive at Purlos, you will act as an ambassador for our company and be the key contact for prospective new clients.
You will be responsible for booking new business meetings, conducting those meetings online and face-to-face, and converting prospects into customers. You will work closely with the Sales Development Representative (SDR) team to identify potential customers and manage the sales process.
Because of the fast-paced nature of the industry, the role usually comes with great benefits. Some of our benefits include:
- Good base salary with uncapped commission
- Regular company socials
- 2 x Well-being days a year
Requirements
To succeed, you’ll need:
- Top Tier Education (Preferred / not mandatory)
- Excellent communication skills
- Strong organisation skills
- Ability to work well under pressure and to tight deadlines
- Fluent in both spoken and written business English
- Professional appearance and approach in person, email and phone

Hey there! Kristian from Purlos checking in . I hopped on the Purlos train as an Account Manager in November 2022, and let me tell you – it's been a wild ride! This company's got my back like no other. They keep their promises, from the epic quarterly socials to the equal opportunities and endless room for career growth. I've discovered a tribe of amazing, passionate people, including senior leaders who genuinely invest in us as individuals, propelling the entire company forward. We all bring our strengths to the table, united by a common vision.
Dream Big: Unleashing the Power of Education for All
Imagine a world where every learner can access the education they need without barriers, reaching their full potential. That's our dream, and it's what drives us. Our mission is to empower institutions and learners with innovative solutions that promote 100% inclusion, breaking down walls and building bridges to success.
Join the Movement: Transforming Lives, One Learner at a Time
Ready to make a difference? Jump on board and be a part of our mission to transform lives through the power of education. At Purlos, we're not just a team; we're a family. And we're on a journey to change the world, one learner at a time.
Evidence of how amazing we are!
One shining example of our vision in action comes from Ben Davis of Hugh Baird College, who said:
"I would rate the onboarding 10/10. When I needed support someone was in contact with me straight away. At our first enrolment event we enrolled 83% more people for the same event pre-pandemic. It’s about getting hold of the people we can’t normally get hold of."
We were able to empower Hugh Baird College by giving them direct access to learners via WhatsApp when their alternative methods failed to engage a large number of students. They experienced the true value of our company through our speedy responses and direct support, as well as helping them reach their goal through one campaign alone, increasing their enrolment by over 80%.
It does not stop there! My fellow colleagues, past and present, are always raving about the Purlos experience. For example my colleague Julia stated:
"Being part of Purlos has been a fantastic start to my sales career. I received ample learning opportunities, personalized coaching, and support from an inspiring team. My ideas were always welcomed and implemented, making me feel valued.
Purlos also offers a flexible environment and prioritizes career development. I was promoted after just eight months here!"
Julia’s journey showcases our commitment to nurturing a thriving work environment. We are proud to have her and many others in the Purlos family, contributing to the success of our clients and the company.
Closing: Embrace the Purlos Experience and Ignite Your Potential
Are you up for the challenge? Take the leap and join the Purlos family today. It's more than just a job; it's an opportunity to grow, thrive, and make a lasting impact in the world of education. Together, let's break down barriers, foster inclusion, and inspire a new generation of learners to achieve their dreams. Your journey starts here – ignite your potential and become a part of the Purlos revolution!
