ABOUT US

HyperionDev is one of the largest providers of accelerated tech education in EMEA and one of the oldest providers of ‘coding bootcamps’ in the world. We work with top universities such as Imperial College London, The London School of Economics, The University of Edinburgh, and Stellenbosch University to deliver structured technical courses and bootcamps that accelerate people into fulfilling tech careers. We have been recognised as one of the top education technology scaleups in the world and gained the financial backing of Meta (previously Facebook) which recognised us as the most socially impactful startup operating in Africa, where we initially started our work.
We are dedicated to closing the global tech skills gap and we achieve this by integrating tech education with human mentorship and expert code review powered by a workforce in Southern Africa, which lowers the cost of an accessible education in technology. This model has been successful, allowing us to reach millions of learners a year from over 60 countries. We have also partnered with government bodies such as the UK’s Department for Education who provide scholarships for students to study on our bootcamps and gain employment at companies such as AstraZeneca and the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS).
We’re backed by nearly 2000 investors, having raised the largest crowdfunding round of funding for an edtech company in history. As a primarily bootstrapped, profitable, and scale-up tech business join us as we play our part in making the world a more stable, safer, and fair place.

MARKET & SECTOR KNOWLEDGE

• Strong knowledge of enterprise education sales across South Africa, the UK, and the US — including Learnerships, Apprenticeships, student acquisition, and employer partnership models
• Experience working cross-functionally with Marketing and Customer Success to drive alignment and efficiency across the revenue funnel

ABOUT THE ROLE

As our Director of Revenue, you’ll take full ownership of revenue growth across all of HyperionDev’s education products—both consumer and enterprise. You’ll lead and scale the Admissions, Learnerships, Collections, and Student Success teams, creating an integrated strategy that drives performance, improves student outcomes, and unlocks new growth opportunities.
On the B2C side, you’ll be responsible for our end-to-end admissions funnel: optimising how we attract, engage, and convert applicants across multiple markets. You’ll improve the way we sell education, exploring new financing models (like student loans) and driving innovation in payment pathways to remove friction from the enrolment process.
On the B2B side, you’ll play a pivotal role in expanding our Learnerships offering with South African employers. You’ll build trusted partnerships, position HyperionDev as the leading tech education partner, and co-create workforce development initiatives that deliver real ROI for our partners.
Beyond revenue ownership, you’ll help shape our company culture and leadership practices. You’ll define team structures, scale operations, and contribute to cross-departmental planning as a senior leader in the business.
As HyperionDev expands internationally, you’ll lead the commercial push to take our edtech offering into markets like the UK, US, and Europe. You’ll forecast revenues, manage KPIs, and build scalable systems for international student admissions and enterprise sales. Your experience in commercial sales, team building, and operational execution will be essential to driving our next phase of growth.
This role is ideal for a mission-driven, high-performance leader who thrives in a fast-moving startup environment, with a bias for execution and a sharp focus on outcomes.
