Who Zero Gravity are

In April 2026 they launched an AI-powered tutor, already showing strong early engagement and attainment results, and have since won a government contract to scale it across the UK.

The role

Zero Gravity is bringing AI-powered tutoring into schools that have never had access to it, and it needs hunters who can build their own pipeline and then close it. This is a new-business sales role in a small, territory-based team led by a player-coach. You will own your patch: finding the schools and multi-academy trusts, booking the meetings, and taking deals from a cold conversation to a signature.

Be clear-eyed about the first stretch: you are your own BDR. That means early-morning calls to headteachers, emails and LinkedIn, aiming for around four new-business meetings a week, then taking those conversations through discovery, demo, proposal and close. In return you get a product schools want more of once they try it, and you are one of the first four reps on the team. A single school deal can grow into a trust deal that opens up dozens of schools.
