We are looking for a self-starter with the right “killer instinct” to join our sales team and meet ambitious goals at EF Language Abroad. Our sellers believe in language-learning, they believe in their product, they are proud to sell it, and they are competitive when they do it.

We offer students all over the US the opportunity to learn a new language and expand their horizons through awesome immersive experiences. Since 1965, we’ve aimed to make that possible through our language courses abroad. 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 help to show potential customers how unique and valuable our courses are.

If you like bringing results, you would like to start an international career and you are passionate about education and traveling, apply!
