ApplyAZ is a study abroad platform helping students secure admission to leading public universities, with a major focus on Italy and other high-value international education pathways.
We do not push students toward random private university tie-ups. Our approach is eligibility-first. We help students identify the strongest opportunities based on their academic profile, budget, eligibility, and long-term goals.
Our students come to us through paid marketing, our platform, referrals, organic channels, and other inbound sources.
As we continue to grow, we are looking for high-performance sales professionals who can build trust quickly, manage leads effectively, and convert qualified interest into successful enrollments.
As a Study Abroad Consultant/ Sales Development Representative, you will manage and convert inbound student leads into enrolled ApplyAZ students.
These are not traditional cold leads. Students have already interacted with ApplyAZ through our website, advertising campaigns, forms, consultations, or other marketing channels.
You will own the sales journey from initial contact through qualification, consultation, follow-up, objection handling, payment, and enrollment.
This role combines consultative selling with strong execution. You should be comfortable speaking with both students and parents, understanding their needs, building confidence in the recommended pathway, and moving qualified prospects toward a decision.

The package includes
- Traineeship completion bonus for candidates who successfully complete the initial training and assessment period
