Sixty Learn is a young two-person startup building AI-powered learning technology — already working with global organisations like the House of Commons, Network Rail, Nestlé, and Nationwide. Now we’re hiring our first team member. You won’t be joining a department. You’ll be joining the business. One day you might be sorting invoicing or building a cash flow view. The next, creating a sales pack, testing a product feature, or setting up a client pilot. It’s fast, varied, and sometimes messy — but you’ll see how a startup actually works, not just one small part of it. If that sounds like your kind of environment, keep reading. A bit more about us: • We specialise in learning around ‘soft’ and ‘people’ skills — the things education doesn’t traditionally teach you., • Our areas of focus are early careers and frontline training — where our mobile tech thrives., • We have 3 core platforms, supported by people services — we help our clients with content creation & live events to support the uptake of our software.
