About the Role
Learnosity is seeking an Account Executive to lead new logo growth across Europe. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who thrives in complex, consultative B2B sales, navigating enterprise cycles, multiple stakeholders, and technically demanding buyers.
The role sits at the intersection of commercial acumen and technical credibility. Our buyers are global educational publishers, edtech providers, vocational training organisations, and corporate learning teams, who evaluate deeply before they commit. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable discussing API architecture and AI-powered products with a CTO and structuring commercial frameworks with a CPO.
You will report to the SVP of Business Development and carry a new logo ARR quota of $500,000 with a minimum 3x pipeline coverage ratio expected at all times. This is a true growth role, focused exclusively on acquiring new customers and expanding Learnosity's presence across markets. Your territory will primarily cover Europe, with particular emphasis on the edtech and vocational segments where Learnosity has significant untapped potential.
About Learnosity
Learnosity is the world's leading assessment API platform, trusted by global publishers, edtech companies, and educational institutions to power assessment, item authoring, and learning data analytics. Our APIs are embedded in products used by millions of learners worldwide. We are a product-led, API-first business, which means our sales motion is technical, our buyers are sophisticated, and the relationships we build are deep and long-lasting.
We operate at the frontier of educational technology. As large language models and AI-driven tools reshape how assessment and content are created, Learnosity is at the centre of how the industry responds, providing the infrastructure layer that publishers and institutions rely on as they evolve their own AI strategies.
GTM Context
This role is a critical hire within Learnosity's FY27 GTM strategy. Europe represents a significant growth opportunity: publisher and edtech target accounts are either underpenetrated or completely untapped, and the region's vocational and corporate learning segments are early in their adoption of API-based assessment infrastructure.
The BDD will own and manage a structured target account list, develop multi-threaded relationships across key accounts.
The AI and LLM Landscape
The education technology market is undergoing a structural shift driven by the rapid advancement of large language models and generative AI. Publishers, institutions, and platform providers are actively reassessing how they build, assess, and personalise learning, and many are evaluating whether to build AI-native assessment capability in-house or to partner with proven infrastructure providers like Learnosity.
This creates both significant opportunity and a growing set of technically sophisticated objections. The Account Executive must be conversant in how LLMs and AI tooling intersect with product design, not as an engineer, but as a credible commercial voice who can engage meaningfully with buyers navigating these decisions. An active interest in how AI is reshaping the edtech/business landscape, and the ability to position Learnosity as a complementary and future-proof product within that context, is essential.
