How to Apply
To apply, please email your CV and a cover letter in Word format , clearly addressing the above requirements and response to the below questions

The role
This is more than an account management role. It’s an opportunity to meaningfully shape the future of education by helping schools get the very best from their IT—through support, broadband services, consultancy and smart, sustainable technology solutions
Make a difference where it truly matters
Are you driven by purpose? Motivated by improving outcomes for children and young people? Energised by supporting schools to make wise, cost-effective decisions—especially when budgets are tight?
If so, this is not a typical sales role. It’s a partnership role where integrity, empathy and
long-term impact matter just as much as commercial success.
We’re looking for someone who can demonstrate experience in account management—ideally within an MSP, IT services, or education setting—and who takes pride in delivering value that genuinely supports schools, academies and trusts.
Why this role matters
Technology has the power to transform teaching, learning and operational efficiency. But it must be accessible, sustainable and aligned with real educational needs.
As an Account Manager in HFL’s Technology in Schools team, you will guide school and trust leaders through an increasingly complex digital landscape. You will help them stretch limited budgets, prioritise wisely and choose solutions that truly support their communities.
This role is centred on partnership—not volume. We focus on doing what is right for schools and what delivers the best long-term outcomes for children.
What you’ll do
Build trusted, long-term relationships with school and trust
Develop a deep understanding of their needs and challenges and help shape sustainable IT strategies.
Match requirements with the best-value solutions, ensuring every pound works hard for children and young people.
Coordinate with internal specialists to design high-quality, tailored
Manage renewals, contracts and opportunities professionally and
Advocate for customers internally to support continuous
Maintain accurate records within ConnectWise and use Quosal to produce clear, professional proposals.
What drives you
A commitment to improving outcomes in the education
A desire to help schools thrive through thoughtful, consultative support—not transactional selling.
Curiosity, courage and a proactive, problem-solving
A love of building genuine, meaningful
Pride in identifying smart, affordable and sustainable technology
What you’ll bring
Proven experience in account management, ideally within MSP IT services or the education sector.
A passion for exceptional customer service and collaborative, consultative
Excellent communication skills, with confidence when guiding senior
Resilience, adaptability and enthusiasm for learning new
Experience with IT systems and platforms, and selling IT support contracts (e.g., ConnectWise, Quosal, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace for Education, networking, broadband, cloud backup, servers, end-user devices, RMM/MDM, cybersecurity, AV and related solutions).
A proactive, organised approach to work
A full UK driving license and access to a vehicle with business insurance
Why join HFL Education?
We are a not-for-profit organisation with a clear moral purpose: to improve education for every child. You’ll be part of a team that works with integrity, cares deeply about its impact, and is trusted by thousands of schools.
If you want your work to mean more—and you're ready to bring your expertise to a mission-driven team—we’d love to hear from you.
Our ‘working from anywhere’ approach provides colleagues the opportunity to work flexibly in line with their role requirements. This consists of working on-site across various schools and settings, remote working and, if desired, up to 2 days per week in our Head Office in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. The ability to reach different locations by car will be essential for this role. If you drive, then a full driving licence and appropriate car insurance will be required. As there is a permanent home working element to this role, you will need to ensure you are equipped for home working.
Benefits: a generous employer pension contribution, 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays (rising to 31 days after five-years) or the equivalent paid for Term Time employees, family- friendly policies, hybrid working, paid mileage, a cycle to work scheme, onsite charging points for electric vehicles, access to mental health and wellbeing support, company performance bonus, professional development opportunities, benefit schemes for discounts and cashback offers, and more.

We are committed towards becoming an anti-racist organisation, and our recruitment statement is set out below in support of this.
HFL is committed to being an equal opportunities employer. We insist on the equal treatment of all current and prospective colleagues and will never condone discrimination on the basis of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, or marriage and civil partnership.

Therefore, for recruitment into any HFL post, where we have 2 or more candidates of equal merit, candidates with protected characteristics will be given advantage over candidates without such characteristics. This is sometimes referred to as a ‘tie-breaker’ and is referred to as ‘positive action’ in the Equality Act 2010.

Local Government Reorganisation
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council is part of the government’s plans for Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) scheduled to take place in April 2027. This means the current two-tier system, where services are split between Surrey County Council and district and borough councils like Reigate, will be replaced with two unitary councils made up of East and West Surrey, which will handle all local services. Reigate and Banstead Borough Council will form part of the new East Surrey unitary authority.
Although this may lead to some uncertainty for anyone considering a role with us, this process will take some time and during that time we still need to provide services. When local government is reorganised, most staff will transfer to the new council(s) which may offer additional opportunities for career development and variety as part of a larger organisation.
