We are looking for someone who is motivated by helping others and who believes in international education as a life-changing opportunity for personal, professional, and academic growth. People who thrive on the ISI Abroad team have: 

• A proactive attitude - we love when you ask ‘what’s next’ rather than waiting to be told.
• The ability to work across time zones and cultures in a diverse and dynamic environment, in an organization that functions with a start-up mentality. 
• A flexible outlook; they’re ready to jump from one task to the next and are always looking for ways to grow. 
• A creative mindset. Our students are diverse and each semester is different. You need to be able to adapt to that and change how you present information and what pre-departure materials we provide in line with the questions, concerns, and motivations of the ever-evolving student body.

• 4 weeks of paid vacation, prorated to match the length of employment (ex. Someone employed from June to December is eligible for 2 weeks of paid vacation that year). 
• An opportunity to build travel benefits with your personal frequent flyer or rental card accounts. You may insert your account number when booking business travel to save up for free flights or other benefits.
