About Magma Maths
Magma is one of the world’s fastest-growing and most celebrated EdTech companies, transforming maths education through the power of AI. Our platform turns handwritten solutions into digital insights, empowering teachers to focus on creativity and deeper learning - while giving them real-time visibility into student progress.
The result? More inclusive, engaging, and effective maths classrooms for all learners.
But we’re not just building better tools. We’re tackling one of the biggest challenges in global education: maths underperformance. With 1 in 5 students globally struggling in maths - a subject that forms the backbone of so many career paths - we believe the opportunity to improve outcomes at scale is massive.
We’re already the go-to solution in thousands of schools - and we’re just getting started. As we expand rapidly across the UK, U.S. and Europe, we’re building a team as ambitious as our mission: to help millions of students unlock their full potential in maths.
The Role
Magma is a sales-driven organisation and the sales team enables us to reach hundreds of thousands of teachers and pupils on a daily basis. As an Account Executive, based in London , you will be responsible for sourcing new leads and closing deals with schools and multi-academy trusts across the UK.
Your focus will be on building and owning your pipeline end-to-end from first contact to close, managing your accounts strategically and doing whatever it takes to keep deals moving. You will have a large amount of autonomy in how you drive your pipeline forward, but also have continuous support from colleagues. This isn't a role with a structured onboarding booklet or a rigid playbook. You'll be trusted to figure out what works, supported by colleagues who genuinely care.
You will attend trade shows and client networking events to find meaningful opportunities. To close deals, it is necessary to build relationships with key stakeholders, the most senior leadership, teachers and heads, and central pedagogical staff. We have a fun and energetic culture, and you will support us in building and conveying this culture to customers.
Since we love to be in-person with our customers, this role involves regular travel across the UK (typically around one day per week, though this varies). Some weeks you'll be desk-based, and others you may be out visiting schools or attending events for days at a stretch.
Who you are and what you know
To succeed in the role, you are:
Ambitious and motivated by chasing and exceeding targets - and comfortable talking money, pricing and commercial terms with senior decision-makers without flinching
Energised by doing business and interacting with decision-makers
Confident and trustworthy with everyone from classroom teachers to C-suite
Sociable and thrive at trade shows and networking events
Entrepreneurial - you spot opportunities and find a way
Genuinely willing and flexible to travel
Requirements:
2+ years of sales experience and closing deals in a tech or SaaS environment (e.g. as Account Executive)
A high achiever who can demonstrate consistent growth and ambition
Bachelor's degree is a bonus
What we offer
Play a key role in an exciting journey. We are a young company with ambitious targets and meaningful goals
