Job Description:

Why WorldStrides
Education and personal growth are the heart of WorldStrides' mission - and they have been since the beginning. WorldStrides was founded in 1967 by a middle school social studies teacher from Chicago who discovered the incredible power of education outside the classroom while traveling to Washington, D.C. with his students. The company has since grown to become a leader in experiential learning for students of all ages throughout their lifetime learning journey.

About the Role
Account managers are the primary point of contact for our university partners focused on delivering outstanding customer service. Account managers will develop programs for existing customers which includes itinerary building, negotiation, pricing, proposal creation, and program confirmation. Once a program is confirmed, account managers handle student and university inquiries about their upcoming travel. They partner with internal departments such as air, visas, sales and global experiences to create a smooth program delivery meeting or exceeding university expectations.
