Job Description:

Location: London (Oval)
Type: Full-time
Our Mission: We are creating a world where teachers and schools are no longer wasting time with expensive agencies because Zen allows them to reliably connect and get back to what really matters … our children! UK schools spend well over £2bn per year on covering short-term absences with supply teachers. The current model exclusively relies on agencies that charge a massive commission and are terribly inefficient (everything is paper and phone-call-based). We are consolidating this analogue, fragmented, and inefficient marketplace onto a digital platform. Think Uber for supply teachers. In the process, we're pulling hundreds of millions of waste out of the education system and making a huge positive impact on teachers and schools. We are well-funded by high-profile investors and are led by start-up veterans behind two of London's most prominent tech companies.
Looking to make a difference? You’ll be joining Zen in a key position leading an organisation of over 30 individuals across Product, Engineering, and Design. Product is at the heart of how we deliver for schools and teachers and you’ll play a key role in building and running our product function to make sure we are building the right thing and building it right. We’re still young and you’ll play a significant role in the development of the company and team. The product delivery team is a crucial part of how Zen will help both transform the supply and recruitment experience for schools and generate the savings the education system needs. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to apply themselves for a great cause and with great responsibility and autonomy to shape the product for years to come.
What we are looking for:

1. Top performer that wants to be part of a high-performing, motivated team
2. Growth mindset – dedicated to improving your skills as a professional
3. Passion for building great products and companies that have a positive social impact
4. Strong bias to action
5. Excellent people skills for working with both our customers and teams at Zen

1. Own and execute on Zen’s product vision balancing both customer and business needs, which should emphasize strategic product leadership and alignment with the company's overall vision and goals
2. Identify customer problems, ensuring we are 100% customer-centric, and our product decisions are data-driven
3. Work with the CEO and other Executives defining...
