You will be responsible for proactively growing our English learning and assessment business in Egypt, building strong relationships with customers, schools, channel partners and other partner organisations. Working closely with colleagues across Commercial, Marketing and Operations, you will contribute to agreed business development targets and represent Cambridge English in the local market.

While the role is focused on Egypt, you may also have opportunities to contribute to wider North Africa projects as part of your professional development, working with colleagues across the region and gaining exposure to different markets and strategic initiatives.

By developing a deep understanding of our customers, partners and the wider market, you will help organisations identify learning and assessment solutions that meet their needs, while providing valuable insight to strengthen our offer and support future growth. You will maintain accurate and comprehensive records of customer activity and market intelligence in Salesforce, supporting effective planning, customer service and forecasting.
