• Build strong relationships with faculty members and college bookstore personnel.

We are looking for talented salespeople to engage our customers and help us to continue to grow the business.

As Pearson Education Sales Representative, you would receive a highly attractive base salary and uncapped bonus potential, a company car, all travel expenses and an excellent benefits package. In addition, you would take part in an extensive training program and ongoing professional development.
