Job Description

This is not your typical brand ambassador role. Our Pearson Campus Ambassadors (PCAs) gain real world experience by collaborating with product and marketing teams, working on a virtual team, and developing professional communication skills. Don’t take it from us, click HERE and learn from current and former PCAs.

PCAs earn real world experience by partnering with their local Pearson team on campus through digital presentations, sales calls, and technology registration tables.

At Pearson, the student voice matters! PCAs help shape Pearson products by providing valuable feedback through focus groups, surveys, and other projects. PCAs create content for our global brand across major social media platforms to engage students on your campus and beyond.

Responsibilities and Schedule Requirements

Our ideal candidate demonstrates teamwork, with the ability to work at a variety of times Monday through Friday – daytime with some evening hours for virtual calls.

In this hybrid role, PCAs work in-person with their local Pearson team 1-2 times per month to deliver back-to-school help for their peers, plus participate in faculty presentations where needed.

PCAs complete an average of 5-7 virtual projects each month. This includes providing input, opinions, and content in varying formats such as participating in focus groups, test-driving products in development, completing surveys, creating social media content.

PCAs attend 3-4 virtual calls per month.

PCAs serve as brand ambassadors for Pearson and are expected to help create content for the Pearson brand, interact with Pearson social media accounts and share Pearson content on their own social media platforms.

This is a part-time position requiring between 5-10 hours per week during the academic year, with some planning work required before each semester/term.

Qualifications:

• Currently an undergraduate student (freshman or sophomore) with a 3.0 GPA or greater at Iowa State University
• Open to ALL majors
• Able to commit to work for one academic school year. We prefer students to continue on in the program until graduation.
• Preferably at least one semester of experience using Pearson+, MyLab, Mastering, or REVEL technology
• Self-motivated, curious and proactive: ability to create and manage independent projects with limited supervision
• Strong interpersonal and presentation skills: energetic, outgoing relationship-building skills are a must

Compensation, Benefits, & Perks!

• $10.00/hr with an average of 5-10 hours per week
• Receive complimentary Pearson Higher Ed materials (including Pearson+ and our MyLab/Mastering/REVEL access codes)
• Expand your professional network (think your # of LinkedIn connections) by partnering with on-campus faculty, Pearson team members, and others. Gives you a leg up when beginning your professional career!
• Get published! Our PCAs create blogs which is another opportunity to showcase your skills on your resume or LinkedIn profile!
• Acquire real-world skills like problem-solving, public speaking, and communication
• Serving as a campus ambassador will not directly increase your chances of being selected for a full-time role at Pearson post-graduation—but it can indirectly support your application!

Become a member of the PCA virtual team! The team is comprised of over 100+ PCAs from across the country working toward a common goal of helping people succeed through education.
