Temp Zen Educate Jobs (NOW HIRING)

• Job Title: Educator Human Resources Generalist

• Location: LA (Hybrid - in office 3 times a week in Culver City)

• Job Type: Full time, permanent 

• Salary: 59K- 66K USD (based on experience)

• Reports to: Head of Educator HR

As an Educator HR Generalist at Zen Educate, you'll step into an HR role that is genuinely different from most. Instead of just working behind the scenes, you will serve as a direct support system and trusted partner to thousands of Zen educators. In this role, you'll have the autonomy to fully own your day-to-day work, while still being part of a closely-knit, collaborative team.

This position blends essential HR compliance with internal team support, all designed to ensure our educators are safe, prepared, and set up for success. If you are passionate about education, this role provides a direct pathway to supporting our educators, who in turn support our students. We truly believe that the more effective and supported our educators are, the more impactful they will be in the classroom.

Zen Educate is a technology company that matches schools with temporary educator staff. Our mission is to change the world of education recruitment. Schools spend over $9bn a year on temporary educators, with over $2bn per year of that spent on fees that take money out of the education system. By leveraging the latest technology, we purpose built a platform that helps schools to pay less while educators earn more.

We want students to have access to the best education possible, and we go the extra mile to find, onboard, match, and coach incredible educators that deeply care about their students. We wake up every day on a mission to care more. We care more about our schools. And we care more about our educators. 

This is your chance to make a difference and join a high growth tech startup on the ground floor. We are a collaborative company, and the career growth opportunities are endless if you are someone willing to dive in, be entrepreneurial, and do whatever is needed to get the job done. We are passionate about learning and development, and will invest in both your personal and professional growth.

We have recently raised our Series B funding of $37mil, the largest round in European EdTech last year. This is an exciting opportunity to make a difference and be part of a high growth start-up that is expanding rapidly in the UK and US markets!

By joining the Educator HR team, you are entering one of Zen Educate's newest and most dynamic functions. We are looking for people who see challenges as opportunities to step up and build lasting solutions.

To support your growth, our leadership team provides consistent feedback, regular coaching sessions, and a collaborative team network. This environment empowers you to solve complex problems at Zen that, in turn, help address broader challenges within the education sector. We invest deeply in our people and are fully committed to helping you reach your long-term career goals.

We are a mission-driven team that balances the fast-paced energy of a high-growth startup with a deep, "care more" approach toward our schools and educators. In our Culver City office, you will work side-by-side with your manager, Burgundie, and collaborate in person with our Account Management teams to drive educator success. While you will primarily connect virtually with the broader HR team in other cities, our local culture thrives on radical collaboration and the entrepreneurial spirit needed to build lasting solutions. We prioritize transparent feedback and continuous professional development, ensuring you are fully supported as we scale across the U.S. market.
