Lead a Sparx Product Team
Step into a leadership role, building a new team and product from one of our world-class offices in London, Bristol or Exeter.
Shape the future of education for millions of students.
How is this different?
Market-leading company, high-impact work
Not 'nice-to-have' work. Not busywork. You'll build things that millions of learners actually use, solving problems that make the world a better place. Unbelievable salary If you're doing meaningful work from day one, you should get paid like it.
CEO and founder on speed dial
Direct access, fast feedback, and mentoring from Sparx's serial entrepreneurs.
Cutting-edge tech
Work at the forefront of AI, with top-quality hardware and software.
Small cohort, big support
Shared challenges, shared wins. No chance of getting lost in a sea of graduates.
Pace, variety, autonomy
Fewer layers, quicker decisions, more responsibility. You'll learn fast, make mistakes, and get breadth of experience most grads can only dream of.
Incredible office spaces
Based in our brilliant Exeter HQ throughout the programme, with the potential to lead a future team in one of our other UK offices.
A clear role to aim for
Leading your own Sparx product, building a team around it, and shaping the future of education.
Keep your options open
Even if you don't stay forever, you'll leave with serious, transferable skills, and proof you can deliver.
About Sparx Learning
We are a B-Corp with a massive mission. We exist to improve lives and because our work impacts over 2.4 million students, we take our responsibilities seriously.
Who we need
Curiosity & initiative
You show enthusiasm and interest even in areas beyond your remit.
High ownership, high pace
You take responsibility, move work forward and care deeply about quality.
Great problem solver
You notice what's broken and feel a pull to fix it, not just talk about it.
Comfort with ambiguity
You can act without perfect information and adapt quickly as new data emerges.
Low ego, highly collaborative
You're reflective, take feedback well, and draw on others' expertise when needed.
Persuasive communicator
You ask great questions, listen well and create clarity from complexity.
Jack of all trades
You have a versatile skillset with side projects and interests beyond your remit.
Excellent judgement
You're decisive, prioritise well and challenge respectfully after understanding other perspectives.
How to apply
We know applying for roles can be annoying and we respect your time.
We keep things simple and we're transparent about every step.
Stage 1: A short-written application (a small number of questions, no CVs or cover letters).
Stage 2: If you stand out, we'll invite you to record a brief video answering a couple of follow-up questions.
Stage 3: A virtual screening call, a chance for us to learn more about each other and for you to ask anything you like.
Stage 4: An in-person assessment day at our Exeter office, where you'll meet our CEO and a range of Sparx team members.
