Chief Business Development Officer - We’ve built the …, London

Writing is a superpower, but for education providers, it’s a scaling nightmare. Tutors are buried in marking, and centres struggle to provide the high-frequency practice students need to actually improve.

At atoply, we’ve solved the "feedback bottleneck." We’ve built an AI-powered platform that acts as a personal writing coach, allowing tutoring centres and schools to scale high-quality writing practice without adding a single hour to their staff's workload.

After 9 months of development and successful B2B AI experience in our previous startup, we are ready for a massive Q2 2026 launch.

We aren't looking for a sales rep. We are looking for a Founding Chief Business Development Officer to build our B2B2C engine from the ground up. You will:

• Build the Ecosystem: Identify and close partnerships with tutoring centres, private schools, and tutor networks.
• Define the Deal: Create the commercial structures that make atoply an "easy yes" for partners to roll out to their students.
• Lead the Charge: Own the revenue roadmap as we head toward our first funding round later this year.

We value "Hunters" who can open doors. Our process is designed to see your hustle:

• Stage 1: The "Partnership Task" – You'll get early access to the app and our pilot data. Your task: Identify 3 high-value partner types and draft the "First Contact" pitch you’d use to get a meeting with a Centre Director.
• Stage 2: The Strategy Session – An online meeting with the founders to discuss your partnership roadmap and commission structure.

• Role: Part-time (to start).
• Compensation: Equity + High Commission (Transitioning to base salary + equity after our 2026 funding round).
• Impact: You will be the architect of our growth, with a massive stake in a company disrupting a multi-billion dollar education market.

If you have the "Founder grit," a deep network in education, and the ability to sell a vision, let’s talk.
