About Flair
At Flair, our mission is to create a world where all ethnicities can thrive. Our core product is a people analytics tool that helps businesses and schools measure and build anti-racist cultures. As a small team of 7, we have achieved a great deal in less than a year since launch.
Our product for the education sector was released in September 2020 and saw rapid adoption – it is now in over 55 schools in the UK. In April 2021, we launched a product for businesses. So far, our clients include the likes of The Premier League, EY and Network Rail.
We are at an exciting point of our journey, having recently secured seed funding, led by Hoxton Ventures – one of the UK’s top venture capital firms, who have backed leading tech companies like Deliveroo. Our aim is to use the funding to rapidly grow our presence in the UK, as well as to enter the US market.
We’re hiring an Account Executive (Permanent, Full-Time)
We are looking to hire an Account Executive whose role will involve securing new business clients.
You will be joining a growing sales team that will be comprised of other Account Executives, Customer Success Managers and Sales Development Reps.
The role is remote. However, as you may be required to occasionally meet the rest of the Flair team in person, you should be based in the UK (within a commutable distance to London).
Our Culture & Values
As a team, we pride ourselves on 6 company values:
Be Yourself – We welcome diversity in all its forms and want people to feel no pressure to conform.
Be Healthy – We value your mental and physical health. In our view, nothing is more important.
Be a Continuous Learner – We look for people who are open to learning new things each and every day.
Be Mission-Driven – We only want to hire people who believe that a world where all ethnicities can thrive is a world worth fighting for.
Be Transparent – We have decided to build a remote company, so hiring great communicators is paramount.
Be Empathetic – We value people who can see the world from others’ point of view.
If this sounds like a company you’d want to join, why not take a look at the role on offer and send in an application?
