SKILLS

ABOUT THE ROLE

Lanterna’s Schools team solves the teacher crisis for a global network of schools, providing short and long-term online teaching coverage. Although Lanterna has been around for almost 20 years, providing unrivalled tutoring and prep courses for students, the B2B arm of our business is still nascent but growing extremely fast. In our first full year of operation, we have grown rapidly, now serving over 100 IB schools around the world.
You will be joining at an exciting time, with an established and loved business model, and huge potential for growth over the coming years. We’re a vibrant and fun small team spread across Europe, and we’re looking for passionate individuals to join us on our mission to transform learning.
As we serve a global market of schools, we have split our territories into the Americas, EMEA and APAC (Asia Pacific). This role will drive sales and growth for the entire Asia Pacific region which will mean meeting stakeholders during their time zones and in their regions, so get ready to travel! You will work closely with the SREs for the Americas and EMEA to make group-wide decisions and will be responsible for your own sales and marketing budget for your territory.
We really believe in what we offer, and you will have the exciting job of letting the IB world know about it. In any given week, you will be attending a conference, travelling to Asia to run demos for school leaders exploring our school solutions, or busy on email and phone doing outreach to generate leads building a pipeline of future opportunities.
You will be meeting so many interesting and important people across the international school sector that your strategic thinking will also be important, picking up on trends in the industry which we can use to enhance our product, as well as our marketing and sales techniques.
We’re not just looking for a team member – we’re looking for a future leader. Over the next 2 to 3 years, you may have the opportunity to build and lead your own team under your expert guidance.

We think you will thrive in this role if you:

• Are a confident, dynamic person who is able to engage with stakeholders at all levels and build strong relationships with individuals and businesses
• Equipped with a few relevant years of commercial experience in sales and business development
• Are an avid world traveller looking for an opportunity to gain significant experience that would usually come much later in your career
