Job Description
Business Development Associate
What would I be doing in this role at D2L?
As a key member of the sales team, the successful candidate will have in-depth knowledge of the company’s solutions, competition, and a keen interest in the eLearning industry. The primary market focus is the education and corporate sectors. We are looking for an energetic, polished individual with exceptional communication skills and a talent for relationship building.
The Business Development Associate role provides a challenging career opportunity as well as career advancement within D2L.
Why D2L?
It is NO SECRET that technology has been transforming many different industries.
But the technology needed to transform learning has been MISSING. Students have been struggling with outcomes, lack engagement, and there is a huge problem with retention and graduation rates. And teachers have not been given the tools they need to be successful in this digital age and are overwhelmed.
At D2L you can help us CREATE the KEY to transforming the way the world learns and help us bring the leading cloud-based learning platform to bear on the future of learning.
The work you do here will have a DRAMATIC IMPACT on improving graduation rates, learning outcomes, and making the learning experience more personal and engaging for millions of people around the world – maybe even your own future children. You can be proud of the work you are doing to help learners achieve their full potential throughout all stages of life, both during school and in the workplace! This is not just the best technology company in town, it is the most rewarding too. We need your help in transforming the way the world learns!
How we are doing this…
D2L is shifting learning from print (textbooks) to digital, from rigid learning activities to adaptive and personal, and from face-to-face to online and blended learning that doesn't stop as a student leaves a classroom. It is a major transformation of learning to take it from one-size-fits-all to one-size-fits-me and elevates the outcomes for all. We are making learning personal, engaging, and inspiring – and we are helping to prepare learners for the challenges of the future!
