Job Description

LearnWise.ai is a scale-up modernizing educational institutions with virtual assistants, instructor efficiency, and student engagement solutions for higher education institutions.

We are looking for a Business Development Representative for the UK and Ireland markets to help us identify, qualify, and engage prospective higher education customers across the region. This person will drive outbound outreach, manage inbound leads, run discovery conversations and LearnWise AI demos, and partner closely with Account Executives to build a strong pipeline and create smooth handoffs for new opportunities.

What you’ll do:

Business Development (60%)

• You will own the top of the funnel - identifying, qualifying, and engaging potential customers across higher education institutions in UK/IE.
• Conduct outbound prospecting campaigns via email, phone, and LinkedIn to build new relationships and hit monthly targets (to be set and agreed on together)
• Manage inbound leads with speed and structure — qualifying prospects and booking the demo the same day they arrive.
• Attend in-person events in the UK up to 6 times a year as part of the commercial team. Book qualified demos in advance of the event, and prospect during the event.
• Research and map target institutions, decision-makers, and buying committees.
• Conduct discovery calls and LearnWise AI demonstrations
• Explain the core of LearnWise to new prospects
• Assist prospects to implement and test LearnWise in Proof of Concepts (POC’s)
• Collaborate closely with Account Executives to ensure smooth handoffs and strong pipeline coverage.

Sales Support (25%)

• Customize and manage demo environments for your prospects to showcase real-world LearnWise use cases
• Leverage AI to improve efficiency
• Support marketing by creating targeted outreach content and campaign materials
