About the role
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 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.

About EF Education First
Some companies are in the business of technology, 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. We’re in the business of understanding.

The programs we deliver open the world to students and travelers in ways that challenge biases, overcome barriers, and pave the way for a more understanding world. You’ll find us working across more than 50 countries, with offices in some of the world’s greatest cities—each one filled with smart, driven people who push each other to be better every day.
