Who You Are

You're a goal-getter who is passionate about the power of education. Over the past three years, you've demonstrated success in outside business development, consultative sales, or account management. You know it's not all about achieving your goals.

Now is the time to bring your talent to Grand Canyon Education, where you'll have the opportunity to play an integral role in providing Grand Canyon University students the roadmap for success from application through to completion of the first few classes.

• Partner and influencer. Through a variety of mediums, you will use your passion for serving others to provide exceptional counseling to prospective students, their families, and partners. Whether in-person, over the phone, or via email, you will champion the GCE mission, promoting Grand Canyon University student success and institutional growth.
• Heart and hustle. This is a work from home role with ambitious targets!
