Testimonials
As the Purple Growth & Account Executive, I oversee all areas of account management, marketing and sales for Purple, our data and impact analysis platform at Think for the Future. My role involves supporting our existing partners, driving growth, leading on customer communication and ensuring Purple continues to meet the evolving needs of schools and organisations working with young people.
I love the variety the role brings. One day I might be showcasing new Purple developments to our current customers, the next I’ll be meeting with a new educational organisation, and the next I’ll be working with the Purple team to shape future features. I also enjoy the creative side of the role, such as developing resources and materials for our marketing campaigns. No two days are the same, and that keeps the role exciting and rewarding.
The culture is genuinely one of the best I have ever experienced. Everyone is incredibly supportive, regardless of role or team, and there’s a real sense of collective purpose. We work hard and have high standards, yet we also make space for fun, connection and celebrating success. It is a brilliant environment to grow, collaborate and feel part of something meaningful.
