EF Educational Tours helps teachers change their students’ lives through educational travel. And frankly, EF does student travel better than anyone else. EF itineraries are more than just places to go and things to see. Experiential learning has been at the heart of our programs since the company started, which allows us to spark connections and inspire curiosity, confidence, and self-awareness in teachers and students from across Canada. Our mission is to open the world through education - by helping people see new places, experience new cultures, and learn new things about the world and about themselves.

As a Partnership Development Specialist, you’ll be identifying new business opportunities, and strategizing and innovating new ways to reach as many potential customers as possible in our untapped markets. You’ll spend the majority of your time outbound sourcing through phone calls to inform and engage new educators within your designated territory. You’ll qualify inbound leads and collaborate effectively with your team members to divide and conquer, setting up strong foundations and connections with potential customers in order to help us complete sales.

- You’re goal-oriented and driven - there’s no better feeling to you than hitting a target - or even better, exceeding it
- You’re fiercely competitive - in a nice, team player sort-of-way
- You never shy away from picking up the phone and making that call, and are prepared to handle objections and break through barriers
- You’re a great persuasive communicator and natural networker, who loves talking to people and sharing your passion-
- You don’t subscribe to the phrase, “that’s not my job”
- You nail the details while moving quickly, never losing sight of the big picture
- You know that you can sell, and you’re not afraid to prove it
