Location: Dubai / Remote

Function: Sales, Partnerships & Business Development

About Learn with Leaders

Learn with Leaders works with students and schools across the world to deliver high-impact programmes in areas such as AI, entrepreneurship, leadership, research, pre-med, pre-law, finance and future skills.

Our programmes include online learning experiences, school-based programmes, masterclasses, competitions, camps and mentoring opportunities delivered in collaboration with experienced mentors and global academic ecosystems.

We are now looking for a driven School Partnerships & Sales professional who can build relationships with schools, generate meetings, manage conversations and convert opportunities into long-term partnerships.

The Role

This is a hands-on sales and partnerships role.

You will be responsible for identifying schools, reaching out to decision-makers, scheduling and conducting online meetings, understanding school requirements, presenting relevant programmes and following opportunities through to conversion.

We are looking for someone who does not stop at booking a meeting. You should be comfortable owning the opportunity from first outreach to follow-up to closure.

Key Responsibilities

• Research and identify relevant schools, school groups and education partners
• Reach out to principals, counsellors, heads of school, enrichment teams, academic leaders and other decision-makers
• Generate qualified meetings through email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and direct outreach
• Conduct online sales and partnership meetings with schools
• Understand each school's needs and recommend relevant programmes
• Present Learn with Leaders programmes clearly and confidently
• Build proposals and support commercial discussions
• Follow up systematically after every meeting
• Move opportunities through the sales pipeline and drive conversions
• Re-engage dormant leads and previous school relationships
• Maintain accurate CRM records, next steps and follow-up dates
• Work closely with programme, operations and marketing teams
• Track outreach, meetings, proposals, conversions and revenue
• Build long-term relationships with schools rather than focusing only on one-time sales

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role will be measured through outcomes such as:

• Number of relevant schools contacted
• Qualified meetings generated
• Meetings conducted
• Proposals and programme opportunities created
• Meeting-to-proposal conversion
• Proposal-to-paid / confirmed conversion
• Revenue generated
• New schools onboarded
• Repeat programmes and school relationships
• Speed and quality of follow-up
• Accuracy of CRM and pipeline management

Who We Are Looking For

You may be a strong fit if you:

• Have experience in B2B sales, EdTech, education sales, school partnerships, institutional sales or business development
• Are confident speaking with senior school leaders
• Can conduct persuasive online meetings
• Are comfortable with cold outreach as well as warm leads
• Have strong follow-up discipline
• Are commercially minded and target-driven
• Can manage a large pipeline without losing opportunities
• Communicate professionally over email, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Zoom
• Are organised and comfortable working with CRM systems
• Take ownership of numbers rather than waiting for leads to convert themselves

Strong Advantage

Experience selling to or working with:

• International schools
• IB / British / American curriculum schools
• School groups
• Education companies
• Universities or academic institutions
• Enrichment and extracurricular programmes
• EdTech products or services

An existing network of school leaders, counsellors or education decision-makers would be an advantage.

The Mindset We Value

We are looking for someone who thinks:

“What is the next action required to move this opportunity forward?”

rather than:

“I sent the email, so my job is done.”

Strong follow-up, relationship-building, commercial judgement and accountability are central to this role.

Why Join Learn with Leaders

You will have the opportunity to work on global education programmes, engage with schools across multiple countries and help build partnerships that directly create opportunities for students.

This is a role with significant ownership and growth potential for someone who enjoys sales, education and building relationships.
