EF Language Abroad is looking for a dynamic self-starter with the right “killer instinct” to meet and exceed ambitious sales goals. Our sellers believe in immersion learning, they believe in their product, they are proud to sell it, and they are competitive when they do it.
At EF, we believe the world is a better place when people try to understand each other. We offer students (13+) the opportunity to study a language where it's spoken by locals - to not just learn the language, but to live it. Our students are surrounded by teachers, which accelerates their learnings and drives their improvement. Our students strengthen future-ready skills like adaptability, problem-solving and social/emotional intelligence in a truly global community.
Since 1965, we've leaned into experiential learning and the power of connection. Offering 10 languages in 50 of the world’s greatest cities, we enable students to transform their lives, establish meaningful connections, and truly live the language. We need you to sell this dream and help show potential customers how unique, valuable and transformative our courses are.
