Education changes lives. But tech hasn’t lived up to its promise for the more than 1 billion students in school around the world - at least not yet. At Kognity, we’re here to change that.

We're a 125-person EdTech scale-up powering learning in 140+ countries, helping students and teachers thrive through an intelligent platform that combines rich, interactive pedagogy with smart AI and data.

Why join Kognity?
  • Work on problems that matter – Your work directly influences the lives of teachers and students in over 140 countries. The scale is global, and the outcomes are tangible.

  • High ownership, high expectations – You are trusted to take initiative, make decisions and drive outcomes. Responsibility comes early, accountability is real, and results matter.

  • A fast-moving, high-performing team – You will work with smart, driven colleagues across the globe on complex problems. Standards and expectations are high, feedback is direct, and the pace is fast.

  • Continuous growth is the baseline – Everyone is expected and supported to learn quickly, improve constantly and raise their own bar. If you enjoy responsibility, momentum and meaningful challenge, you will thrive here.

What you'll do:

You'll own a global school portfolio with genuine autonomy to shape how high-volume account management works at scale. AI and automation are central to the role, giving you a visible impact beyond your own role. You'll also travel across the world, building direct relationships with customers beyond email and calls.

  • Own a portfolio of 150-300 school accounts in the €2-6K segment, running proactive check-ins and acting on customer health signals to drive retention

  • Identify and implement AI and automation workflows to reduce manual effort in account management operations and share best practices with the wider team

  • Work within our evolving AI-native CRM system to flag risk early, log touchpoints ahead of renewal windows, and prioritise accounts by risk based on portfolio data and health signals

  • Support the Customer Success and Customer Engagement teams to ensure account managers own relationships with school leadership while ground-level teachers are supported through dedicated resources

What we're looking for:
  • Prior experience in a SaaS account management or customer success role, with a demonstrated understanding of what good renewal and retention motion looks like in practice

  • Proactivity and ownership mentality, with the ability to thrive in ambiguity and work effectively within systems that are still evolving

  • Genuine curiosity about AI tools and automation, with evidence of having independently explored or used these technologies

  • Comfort working in a data-informed way, reading CRM signals, drawing conclusions from portfolio data, and making prioritisation decisions based on risk

Our Values
  • We take ownership

  • We obsess over customers

  • We make every week count

  • We are transparent

  • We show up with heart

Benefits
  • Work remotely within Sweden

  • ITP Pension Plan with Nordnet

  • Yearly budget of 5,000 SEK to spend on health-related services.

  • 30 days of paid vacation every year

  • Full pay sick leave starting on day 1

What We Do

The single factor that has the highest impact on the prosperity and well-being of humankind is education. Still, technology has not yet delivered on any of its promises for better learning. At Kognity, we have set out to change this. Our vision is to radically improve learning for the world’s school students. Kognity is the all-in-one, curriculum-aligned teaching and learning platform for Cambridge IGCSE™, the IB Diploma Programme and High School Science. The platform provides interactive textbooks, analytics and assessment support – all in one place. We are experts at combining pedagogy and technology to create comprehensive, engaging, digital-first teaching and learning resources. Kognity saves teachers time, improves learning experiences and empowers students to become independent learners. It all began with two students who wanted to create the dynamic and interactive learning resources they’d always wanted to experience in their own classrooms. Today, teachers and students in over 1000 schools and over 100 countries rely on Kognity.
