What if your first job actually changed lives, including your own?
At EF Language Abroad, we believe that learning a language abroad is one of the most transformative experiences a person can have. And we need passionate, driven people to help make that happen. That's where you come in.
We're looking for a Sales Intern to join our team in São Paulo, Brazil. This is your chance to kick off your career in a global company, work alongside an energetic and ambitious team, and help young people take the leap toward a life-changing experience abroad.
You'll be the first point of contact for our future students: sparking conversations, supporting the team, and connecting the right people to the right opportunities. No scripts, no cold calling - just real learning, real impact, and a team that's genuinely rooting for you from day one.

- Participate in Information Meetings to support the team in presenting our programs.
Beyond Sales - A little bit of everything
As part of a dynamic team, you'll occasionally get involved in supporting external promotional actions and campaigns, helping with logistics at fairs and events, assisting with school database updates, and supporting the ambassador program.
Requirements
- Education: Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree, preferably in Business Administration, Marketing, Tourism, or a related field, with expected graduation from 2028 onwards.

About Us
Some companies are in the business of banking. Others are in the business of shoes. Or sports. Or soft drinks. At EF, we're in a different kind of business. One that's a little less tangible, and a lot more important. Because our business, what we make, makes everything else possible. We're in the business of understanding. Between people. Between cultures.
For over half a century we’ve been the leader in international educational programs and experiences designed to foster such understanding. Through language, cultural exchange, academic studies, and educational travel, we create the kinds of immersive experiences that challenge biases, open minds, and pave the way for a more understanding world.
You’ll find our offices and schools located in some of the world’s greatest cities, and filled with smart, driven people (over 50,000 of us) who push each other to be better every day. But it’s what we do together - building greater understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating a better world - that makes all the difference.
Founded in 1965 in Sweden, EF (Education First) is a global association of education companies that share a common mission of opening the world through education. EF has been recognized on Forbes 2025 and 2024 World’s Best Employers and 2024 Top Companies for Women lists, Fast Company’s 2025 Next Big Things In Tech, and was a 2024 App Store Award winner in Cultural Impact.
