Education changes lives. But tech hasn’t lived up to its promise for the more than 1 billion students in school around the world - at least not yet. At Kognity, we’re here to change that.
We're a 125-person EdTech scale-up powering learning in 140+ countries, helping students and teachers thrive through an intelligent platform that combines rich, interactive pedagogy with smart AI and data.
Why join Kognity?
• Work on problems that matter – Your work directly influences the lives of teachers and students in over 140 countries. The scale is global, and the outcomes are tangible.
• High ownership, high expectations – You are trusted to take initiative, make decisions and drive outcomes. Responsibility comes early, accountability is real, and results matter.
• A fast-moving, high-performing team – You will work with smart, driven colleagues across the globe on complex problems. Standards and expectations are high, feedback is direct, and the pace is fast.
• Continuous growth is the baseline – Everyone is expected and supported to learn quickly, improve constantly and raise their own bar. If you enjoy responsibility, momentum and meaningful challenge, you will thrive here.
What you'll do:
You'll own a global school portfolio with genuine autonomy to shape how high-volume account management works at scale. AI and automation are central to the role, giving you a visible impact beyond your own role. You'll also travel across the world, building direct relationships with customers beyond email and calls.
• Own a portfolio of 150-300 school accounts in the €2-6K segment, running proactive check-ins and acting on customer health signals to drive retention
• Identify and implement AI and automation workflows to reduce manual effort in account management operations and share best practices with the wider team
• Work within our evolving AI-native CRM system to flag risk early, log touchpoints ahead of renewal windows, and prioritise accounts by risk based on portfolio data and health signals
• Support the Customer Success and Customer Engagement teams to ensure account managers own relationships with school leadership while ground-level teachers are supported through dedicated resources
What we're looking for:
• Prior experience in a SaaS account management or customer success role, with a demonstrated understanding of what good renewal and retention motion looks like in practice
• Proactivity and ownership mentality, with the ability to thrive in ambiguity and work effectively within systems that are still evolving
• Genuine curiosity about AI tools and automation, with evidence of having independently explored or used these technologies
• Comfort working in a data-informed way, reading CRM signals, drawing conclusions from portfolio data, and making prioritisation decisions based on risk
Our Values
• We take ownership
• We obsess over customers
• We make every week count
• We are transparent
• We show up with heart
Benefits
