Utah Valley University-Pearson Campus Ambassador

About the Role

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. 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.

What the PCA Program Offers

PCAs earn real-world experience by partnering with their local Pearson team on campus through digital presentations, sales calls, and technology registration tables. At Pearson, the student's voice matters — PCAs help shape Pearson products by providing valuable feedback through focus groups, surveys, and other projects. PCAs create content for our global brand across major social media platforms to engage students on your campus and beyond.

Responsibilities

• Assist the local Pearson team (Field and Inside Sales Representatives) as needed each month to deliver back-to-school help for peers, plus participate in faculty presentations where needed.
• Support the local Pearson team additionally with collecting office hour data, distributing flyers to professors, creating student-perspective videos, and other special projects.
• Complete 5–7 virtual projects per month, contributing input, opinions, and content in various formats such as:
  • Participate in focus groups
  • Test-drive products in development
  • Complete surveys
  • Create social media content
• 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.

Time Commitment

• 5–10 hours per week during the academic year.
• Some additional planning work may be required before each semester/term.

Minimum Requirements

• Currently an undergraduate student (freshman or sophomore) with a 3.0 GPA or greater at Utah Valley University (UVU).
• Open to ALL majors.
• Able to commit to work for one academic school year. We prefer students to continue on in the program until graduation.
• Preferably at least one semester of experience using Pearson+, MyLab, Mastering, or REVEL technology.
• Self-motivated, curious and proactive: ability to create and manage independent projects with limited supervision.
• Strong interpersonal and presentation skills: energetic, outgoing relationship-building skills are a must.

Benefits and Perks

• Expand your professional network by partnering with on-campus faculty, Pearson team members, and others — giving you a leg up when beginning your professional career.
• Get published! Our PCAs create blogs, another opportunity to showcase your skills on your resume or LinkedIn profile.
• Acquire real-world skills like problem-solving, public speaking, and communication.
• Serving as a campus ambassador will not directly increase your chances of being selected for a full-time role at Pearson post-graduation — but it can indirectly support your application.
• Become a member of the PCA virtual team, comprised of over 100+ PCAs from across the country working toward a common goal of helping people succeed through education.

Pay

We offer a pay rate of $10.00 per hour. Additionally, you will receive complimentary Pearson Higher Ed materials, including Pearson+ and access codes for MyLab, Mastering, and REVEL. You will also be eligible for accrued paid sick time in accordance with company policy.

Schedule

Average work schedule of 5–10 hours per week during the academic year. Part-time, hybrid.
