    The sense of impact and reward will be huge. You will help to build a brand which is making a real difference in education, both locally and internationally. iXperience teaches 21st century skills in a way that universities don't. We're empowering the next generation of learners with knowledge, skills and experience that will enable them to discover their potential and help them go on to shape our future.

     

    We are a small non-hierarchical team; this means that you are going to get exposure to all aspects of our business immediately. You’ll gain as much accountability as you can handle and have a huge influence on scaling the company.

     

    Being an organisation that’s passionate about education, we place a high value on learning and personal growth, so you’ll have time to learn new skills in work time and at the company’s expense.

     

    One of our goals is to build the most revolutionary and accelerated education spaces anywhere in the world. This means putting a lot of time into ensuring we only hire people with exceptional potential, and creating the best working environment possible.

     

    General purpose

    • Set a strategic business plan for our target markets and ensure it's in line with the overall iXperience strategic direction.

    • Research and drive design new products that align with the iX brand which will increase revenue.

    • Assess the competitive landscape and look to protect our market position through defensive business strategies

    • Design budgets, sales, marketing, execution strategies to be able to bring these products to market and ensure they are viable within the business.

    • Test new products to validate ideas.

    • Develop strong relationships with key partners that fit into our business strategy.

     

    Here are the kinds of skills we’re looking for

     

    • A minimum of 5+ years of business development experience.

    • Proven track record of building impactful partnerships, ideally in a new business environment.

    • Startup hustle and passion for our mission.

    • Extremely proactive, self starter mentality with strong organizational skills.

    • Distinctive problem-solving and analysis skills, combined with a strong code of ethics and impeccable business judgment.

    • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to identify and provide comprehensive solutions for varying partner needs.

    • Ability to exhibit grace under pressure in an unstructured, fast paced environment.

    • Understand how to work efficiently and how to influence without exerting direct authority.

    • Innovative + Smart

      • Be curious enough to want to know more, think out the box, maybe even break the box, show initiative and be smart about it to find implementable, impactful solutions.

    • International + Accountable

      • Push yourself to be better every day. Work with others across the world, be resilient, add value and then hold yourself accountable. Encourage and celebrate each other.
