  • Strong understanding of sales pipelines, lead conversion, and partner or customer lifecycle management
  • Proven ability to coordinate across cross-functional teams in a regional or multi-market environment
  • Highly organized with strong project management and prioritization skills
  • A proactive problem-solver who can navigate ambiguity and drive solutions independently
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage diverse internal and external stakeholders
  • Experience in education, EdTech, or partner-driven industries is a plus

What You'll Get

  • The opportunity to play a key role in driving commercial growth across a dynamic, multi-market region
  • Exposure to cross-functional teams including sales, marketing, operations, and finance
