Schools Partnership Executive

The Opportunity
Life Education is Australia’s largest preventative health organisation, empowering children and young people to live safer and healthier lives for nearly 40 years. By offering preventative educational programs to Preschools, Primary and Secondary schools, Life Education endeavours to equip children and young people with the tools they need to make responsible lifestyle choices, both now and in the future. There is currently an exciting opportunity for an exceptional individual to join this organisation in the role of Schools Partnership Executive. This is a part-time role during the school terms.

The Role
Reporting to the Head of Growth and Delivery, the Schools Partnership Executive is responsible for contributing to the ongoing success of the company, through ensuring the ongoing sales growth of educational programs offered by Life Education.

In addition to this being a customer-focused role, the successful applicant will also be expected to carry out administrative responsibilities, such as the timely completion of sales records, responding to enquiries and other duties as they arise.

About You
The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated history of sales success, with a proven track-record of providing impeccable customer service to clients. They will be result-oriented, with an innate desire to deliver the best results as measured by the successful selling of education programs to customers. They will be able to work against deadlines, and deliver on promises to colleagues and customers alike, ensuring both a successful and harmonious working environment.
