Co-Op Sales
About The Position
EF Education First is excited to offer a Cooperative Education (co-op) program in partnership with a student's college or university, giving students the opportunity to align their academic and future career goals with full-time or part-time work experience for a select period of time. EF offers a multitude of full-time, 6-month co-ops starting in January or July, across our travel, language, and education businesses in sales, customer service, operations, finance, and marketing. We're looking for a motivated, curious co-op to join our Business Development team, EF's "SWAT team" of senior sellers. This is a team that moves fast, thinks creatively, and is laser-focused on growing the business. You won't be fetching coffee. You'll be doing real, meaningful work that directly impacts how we reach families and support educators. From day one, you'll be jumping into projects that stretch across sales, marketing, customer experience, and competitive strategy. And the best part? There's room to shape this role around your own interests and career goals, too.

Responsibilities

- Customer experience support: Help support families gearing up for an upcoming trip, making sure they feel informed and excited
- Competitive landscape research: Dig into the travel industry to help us understand what's out there, what's working, and where we can stand out
- Passion projects: Have a skill or interest that could benefit the team? We want to hear about it. This role has room to grow with you
Benefits
