Our travelers range from young professionals to retirees, solo travelers to entire families, travel enthusiasts to those stepping off their first flight.

The Role:

In the role of Account Manager, you will use your keen attention to detail to support Group Coordinators in preparation for their trip. You will manage the pre-departure details of the group and follow through with requests to ensure a beautiful customer experience from enrollment through departure.  

You’ll start as a Support Account Manager, training while supporting insurance upselling, providing support for Regional Account Managers, out-of-office coverage for regions, and flexing your sales skills across territories. This role is designed to set you up for success—giving you the tools, exposure, and experience needed to thrive. Once you're fully ramped up and a region opens up, you’ll step into your own Regional Account Manager role.

As an Account Manager, you will be able to participate in the Sales Development Leadership Program. This is designed to accelerate the careers of high-performing candidates and prepare them for leadership in business. You will play a critical role in developing customer acquisition and retention strategies and identifying opportunities to improve the customer experience.

About EF Education First

Some companies are in the Business of Technology.

Others are in the Business of Finance….Sports…Or Soft Drinks.

At EF, we're in a different kind of Business.

One that's a little less tangible, and a lot more important.

Because our Business, what we make, makes everything else possible.

We're in the Business of Understanding.

Between people.  Between cultures.

For over half a century we’ve been the leader in international educational programs and experiences designed to foster such understanding.  Through Language, Cultural Exchange, Academic Studies, and Educational Travel, we create the kinds of immersive experiences that challenge biases, open minds, and pave the way for a more understanding world. 

You’ll find our 115 offices located in some of the world’s greatest cities, and filled with smart, driven people who push each other to be better every day. And yes, we have technology, we have finance, we even have sports with our own professional cycling team.  But it’s what we do with it – Building greater understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating a better world…that makes all the difference.

At EF Education First, we believe that the world is better when people try to understand one another. Since 1965, EF has helped millions of people see new places, experience new cultures, and learn new things about the world and about themselves.
