University of Southern California (USC)-Pearson Campus Ambassador

About the role

Pearson is the world’s learning company, helping people of all ages acquire the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in work and careers.

As a Campus Ambassador you will support the Field and Inside Sales teams in engaging with professors and students on campus, driving sales, enhancing brand awareness, and providing valuable student‑perspective insights.
