About EAIM

Established in 1984, East Asia Institute of Management (EAIM) is one of Singapore’s most established private education institutions, known for our commitment to Education for Employment and producing globally competitive graduates for more than 40 years.

EAIM offers a comprehensive suite of programmes—from International Foundation, Diploma, Undergraduate, Postgraduate, and MBA programmes—in partnership with globally recognised universities such as the University of Wolverhampton, Aston University (Triple-Crown Business School), and NCUK. We are also the only PEI in Singapore offering a full-track Chinese-language pathway from Foundation–Degree–Masters.

As EAIM strengthens its presence in the local education landscape with its new campus at Jurong East (Perennial Business City), we are expanding our Direct Sales Division to better serve Singaporean and Singapore-based adult learners.

Role Overview

The Education Sales Manager is responsible for driving EAIM’s local student recruitment through a high-performing Direct Sales team. This role requires strong leadership, strong selling skills, and the ability to build and execute sales strategies targeted at Singaporeans, working adults, mid-career professionals, and school leavers.

You will lead a team of Education Sales Executives, optimise sales funnels, and collaborate with Marketing and Academic departments to achieve EAIM’s enrolment goals.

This is a hands‑on leadership role — you will both lead the team and personally engage in sales activities when needed.

Earn a competitive $60,000 on-target commission, with unlimited upside based on performance.

3. Sales Strategy & Market Development

• Develop and execute local market penetration strategies for:
  • Working adults upskilling
  • Mid‑career switchers
  • Secondary school leavers (N/O levels)
  • ITE/Poly dropouts or transition pathways
  • Community and lifestyle centres
• Identify new outreach channels (CCs, HR corporate networks, roadshows, schools, job fairs).
• Analyse competitor offerings and ensure EAIM’s programmes remain competitive and appealing.

4. Events, Outreach & Lead Generation

• Plan, manage, and participate in Open Houses, school visits, corporate outreach, and roadshows.
• Work closely with Marketing to:
  • Improve lead quality

5. Process Improvement & Compliance

• Improve the customer experience from enquiry to enrolment.

Requirements

• Singaporean / Singapore‑based candidates preferred.
• At least 3–5 years of direct sales experience with proven track record.
