  • Work closely with marketing and sales leadership to identify “themes” of challenges in the market, as well as generate and promote key messages that resonate with our targeted audience.
  • Work with prospective institutions to articulate challenges that they may or may not be aware of through excellent consultation, articulating a vision while positioning Civitas Learning distinctly and inspiring them to act.
  • Receive expert sales coaching on opportunities and overall pipeline strategy as part of your weekly routine.
