• Provide agents with transparent programme details, pricing, and marketing resources to support enrolments.
• Deliver training and ongoing support to agents, ensuring they are confident in representing MLA.
• Represent MLA at international education workshops, trade fairs, and agent-focused events across the region.
• Serve as the first point of contact for regional agents, ensuring high levels of service, responsiveness, and problem-solving.
• Analyse agent performance, market trends, and regional feedback to guide MLA’s strategy and product development.
• Produce regular reports, sales forecasts, and market updates for senior management.

Qualifications and Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Education, or a related field.
• Minimum of 5 years of sales experience in the education travel, ELT, or study abroad sector.
• Proven success in growing agent networks and delivering sales results through strong relationship management.
• Established network of education agents in Turkey and/or the MENA region highly desirable.
• Strong interpersonal, negotiation, and presentation skills.
• Fluency in Turkish and English required; Arabic is a strong advantage.
• Self-motivated, independent, and able to collaborate effectively with MLA’s global team.
• Willingness to travel extensively within the region to visit agents and attend industry events.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary with performance-based incentives.
• The opportunity to represent a well-established and trusted global junior programmes brand.
• Professional growth and career development within a rapidly expanding international company.
• A supportive, multicultural, and collaborative work environment.

Compensation Package

We offer a competitive base salary in line with regional standards, along with a performance-driven commission structure directly linked to student enrolments. Additional annual bonuses are available for exceeding targets, ensuring strong earning potential for high performers. This package is designed to reward both the development of long-term agent partnerships and the achievement of ambitious sales results.
