The position requires approximately 20% travel, including multi-day travel to events and conferences up to five times per year.

This position requires residence in or relocation to Madison, Wisconsin; Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota; or Columbus, Ohio.

Starting salary: $60,000, with opportunities to earn additional compensation through sales incentives based on performance.

On a day-to-day basis, you may do the following.

  • Perform outbound sales activity including prospecting, marketing and promoting Ascendium's products and services to new customers. Working within the Ascendium marketing team, create and implement sales and marketing plans. Establish and develop positive customer relations.

A highly qualified candidate will possess the following.

  • Knowledge equivalent to a Bachelor's Degree in business, marketing, communications or a related field.
  • Two or more years of experience with sales and marketing, customer service, student loans, student loan industry technologies, and/or employee benefit solutions.
  • Life activities including ability to communicate, learn, and be self-sufficient.
  • Strong communication (oral and written), interpersonal, presentation, problem solving and time management skills.
