About The Position

As a Sales Development & Growth Representative, you'll own and close smaller-revenue opportunities within our High School sales division, freeing up senior reps to focus on our largest and most complex accounts. You'll build creative, multi-channel outreach that keeps prospects engaged, and you'll use AI tools and modern sales technology to find new opportunities and sharpen your approach.

If this opportunity speaks to you, tell us how your experience and abilities could add value here. We want Macmillan Learning to be a place where everyone can do their best work and where different viewpoints are genuinely welcome, so if you're a qualified candidate, we hope you'll apply. We're looking forward to learning what you'd bring to the team.
