Job description

Our Mission
Zen builds and scales online marketplaces which revolutionise the way organisations manage short and long-term recruitment needs.
In 2017 we launched Zen Educate, an online platform that has saved UK schools over £6M to date in supply teaching and recruitment costs.
Using our platform, schools have access to thousands of profiles of fully vetted teachers, who they can book at a click of a button. Think Uber for teachers. Building on this success, we launched Zen Locum last summer - an online platform that matches locums (temporary workers) with pharmacies and opticians - and are similarly having significant traction.
We are well-funded by high-profile investors and are led by start-up veterans behind two of London's most prominent tech companies.
