University of Washington-Pearson Campus Ambassador

Pearson is the world’s learning company. We help people of all ages acquire the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in their work and careers. We believe that everyone should be able to keep learning, every day and in every way, throughout their lives. Bringing together everything we know about the science of learning and the latest technology, we’re shaping the future of teaching and learning.

About the role

This is not your typical brand ambassador role. Our Pearson Campus Ambassadors (PCAs) gain real-world experience by collaborating with product and marketing teams, working on a virtual team, and developing professional communication skills. We foster a work environment that’s inclusive as well as diverse, where our people can be themselves. Every idea and perspective is valued so that our products reflect the people we serve — our teachers and students, employers and employees, and consumers and learners.

We are looking for a motivated and outgoing Campus Ambassador to support our Field and Inside Sales teams in engaging with professors and students on campus. This part-time role plays a crucial part in driving sales, enhancing brand awareness, and providing valuable insights from a student perspective.

• Assist your local Pearson team (Field and Inside Sales Representatives) each month to deliver back-to-school help for peers and participate in faculty presentations where needed.

  • Participate in focus groups

• Serve as a Pearson brand ambassador, creating and sharing content on social media, engaging with Pearson’s platforms, and promoting Pearson materials.
• Attend 3-4 virtual meetings per month to collaborate with the team and discuss ongoing initiatives.

• Open to ALL majors.
• Able to commit to work for one academic school year (preferably continuing until graduation).
• Preferably at least one semester of experience using Pearson+, MyLab, Mastering, or REVEL technology.
• Self-motivated, curious, and proactive with the ability to create and manage independent projects with limited supervision.
