Junior Educator Recruitment Associate
About the role
We’re Zen Educate - a fast-growing EdTech company on a mission to make education fairer for everyone. Right now, schools in the US waste over $2 billion every year on traditional agency fees - money that should be going directly to classrooms and educators. We’re here to change that. We’re a team of ambitious, mission-driven people who move fast, support each other, and care deeply about the work we do. We’ve just doubled our US business this summer, and we’re only getting started!
As a Junior Educator Recruitment Associate, you’ll be on the front lines of our hiring process - connecting talented paraprofessionals and substitute teachers with schools that need them. You’ll work closely with our experienced recruitment team, learning how to screen applications, conduct interviews, and match educators to roles where they can have the biggest impact. This role is a great way to build skills in recruitment, sales, communication, and collaboration - all while working with a high-energy team in a rapidly scaling tech company that’s making a real difference in education.
