International Sales Executive

WorldStrides is the global leader in educational travel and experiential learning. The company was founded in 1967 to provide middle school travel programs to Washington, D.C. and has grown to provide a wide range of programs for more than half a million students annually to over 100 countries around the world. WorldStrides offers experiential learning programs in educational travel, performing arts, language immersion, career exploration, service-learning, study abroad, and sports. Each of these experiences helps students to see beyond the classroom and to see the world – and themselves – in new ways.

At WorldStrides, we take students places a classroom can’t: Washington, D.C., the national parks, science labs, historic battlefields and destinations around the world. For many of these kids it’s their first flight, their first time leaving their state, sometimes their first time seeing the ocean.

Teachers make those trips happen, but only if someone reaches them, earns their trust and shows them it’s possible. That someone is you.

This is a high-volume outbound role, fully in English. Your day is spent on the phone and in the inbox, reaching teachers and school administrators across the U.S. who’ve never heard of us. You’ll open conversations from a cold start and qualify which ones are serious about organizing a student trip. The strongest opportunities go to our Sales team to close, so your pipeline is what feeds theirs.

• Inbound or customer service. Nobody is calling you; you make the first move.
