SELL LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCES, NOT JUST PRODUCTS

You're a connector, a closer, and a natural relationship builder

. You know how to inspire action - and you want to apply your sales expertise to something that actually matters.





At GVI, we believe sales can (and should) change the world. As a Sales Enrollment Manager, you'll guide future changemakers - volunteers, interns, and students - towards global programs that change lives (including their own).





This isn't your typical sales role: no cold calling, no soulless scripts - just hot leads, real conversations, and a product that makes a genuine difference to people and the planet.

? WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

At GVI, every conversation with a potential participant is more than a sales interaction - it's the start of a life-changing journey.

Your expertise will help future participants say yes to transformative experiences - while driving GVI's mission to create a more sustainable, equitable planet. Every enrollment supports real-world impact across 13 countries, advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

WORKING HOURS & LOCATION

This is a shift-based role designed to help us connect with participants across the globe.


You'll work rotational shifts Monday to Friday, with occasional Saturdays.





Because of the global nature of GVI, this structure allows us to engage with participants around the world, and gives you more flexibility within your day. Whether it's getting in a morning workout, running errands, or taking a slower start when on a later shift, the varied hours create space for balance between work and life.
