Why this is a Stretch role
It's a senior or people-manager role, which usually needs prior experience in the field. It can still be worth a look if you have that experience from before or alongside teaching. Skills that often transfer to sales & accounts: presenting to a room, reading what people actually need, persuasive communication, knowing how schools buy.
