We’re up to something big.
Zen’s mission is to fully staff classrooms, so all children can thrive and educators avoid burnout. We do this by combining a product that schools and educators love with a hard-working, education-obsessed team.
Since launching in North America, we’ve been growing 4x year over year. That kind of growth creates hard, complex, urgent problems across the business. We’re now looking for a Chief of Staff, North America to work closely with our leadership team as we scale.
This is a role for someone energized by these challenges. Someone who can move quickly, create clarity from ambiguity, and turn rapid growth into better systems, sharper decisions, and stronger execution. The right person will be able to operate at both altitude and ground level, shaping strategy, doing sharp analysis, and getting deep into frontline processes when that is what the business needs.
There is a staffing crisis in education. Too many teachers are leaving the profession, not enough are coming in, and school leaders are being forced to manage daily staffing gaps with limited budgets and limited visibility.
We’re building a better way for schools to find, vet, and manage temporary educators. Our platform gives school leaders more control, more transparency, and better access to great educators, while helping reduce wasted spend in education.
Zen is now a 500+ person team operating across the UK, US, and Canada. We’re venture backed, well funded, and building toward a national rollout across North America.
We’re also a certified B Corporation, which matters to us. It reflects the company we are trying to build: one that grows quickly, performs exceptionally, and stays deeply accountable to schools, educators, children, and the communities we serve.
We’re trying to do really well by doing good.
