About us

We are building the #1 AI learning companion for 1 billion students globally.

We are building a future where every student on the planet can access, enjoy, and benefit from the highest quality education. Since founding Knowunity straight out of high school in 2020, we've been committed to revolutionising how students learn.

Millions of students already use our AI learning companion weekly. The AI learning market is at an inflection point, finally enabling true personalisation at scale, and we're determined to build the first AI learning unicorn in this space.

You will join an elite team of 60 hands-on builders serving 1 billion students worldwide. If we execute on our product vision, you will have built something generational that transforms education globally.

This is your chance to be part of building a generational company.

Your mission

The problem you’ll solve: You’ll unlock new revenue opportunities by turning interest into long-term partnerships - helping Knowunity scale one of its most important monetisation engines while shaping how we serve our B2B customers.

Your ownership:

Own the full sales funnel - from strategic lead generation and outreach to closing deals and managing long-term accounts that drive repeat revenue.
Build and optimise a high-performing sales process, experimenting with new approaches (pricing, messaging, funnel flow) to increase conversion and velocity.
Drive cross-functional collaboration with Marketing and Product to scale inbound sales, improve lead quality, and elevate customer experience.

Why this matters: As we scale to 1 billion students, sustainable growth depends on our ability to monetise effectively. The deals you close and relationships you build directly impact ARR, open new market opportunities, and accelerate our path to profitability.

What success looks like: You’ll consistently close high-quality partnerships and generate upsell opportunities through strong relationship management. Your input will shape a repeatable, efficient sales engine that fuels Knowunity’s monetisation strategy. Over time, you'll be seen as a key growth driver - both in revenue impact and in evolving how we sell, collaborate, and win.
