Job description

At EF Language Abroad, we believe that the world is better when people try to understand one another.

Since 1965, we've helped millions of students discover new places, embrace diverse cultures, and gain fresh perspectives. We offer immersive language courses and programs across different languages, in the countries where they're spoken. Our global staff help students develop the language skills they need to achieve their dreams.

This isn't your average job. Neither are the people who thrive here. You're ambitious, competitive, and hungry to prove yourself. You thrive under pressure, love hitting targets, and want a career that actually goes somewhere — fast. If you're at the beginning of your professional journey and looking for a role that rewards your drive with real results and real career growth, keep reading.

The Role

You'll be the first point of contact for students dreaming of studying abroad. Your job is to turn that dream into a decision — and you'll do it through sharp sales instincts, genuine relationship‑building, and relentless follow‑through.

This is a high-performance role with a clear path to leadership within 1–3 years, for those who earn it.

• Fluent in Italian and working fluency in English (written and spoken)
• Full working rights in Europe — no sponsorship required
• Detail‑oriented with a can‑do attitude — you figure things out, you don't wait for someone to hand you answers
• You've lived, studied, or worked abroad — you get what we promote because you've lived it (a plus!)
• Additional languages? A definite advantage in our multicultural environment
• Early in your career or pivoting into sales — we care about your mindset and potential far more than your CV

Why EF — and Why Now

• Base salary: €26,000 – €32,000 gross per year (RAL), in accordance with CCNL Commercio, commensurate with experience
• Career advancement in 1–3 years whithin our career ladder

Work environment

This is a fully on‑site role in our centrally located office in SanBabila. Being together in person accelerates learning, strengthens team culture, and enables faster decision‑making — all essential in a high‑growth, performance‑driven environment.

We're not a corporate machine. We move fast, we promote from within, and we give ambitious people the space to grow. If you're ready to build something, this is where you start.
