ABOUT US

Klett Canada is part of Grupo Difusión, the language education division of the Klett Group (founded in 1897, with more than 100 educational companies). The group brings together Difusión, Éditions Maison des Langues, Casa delle Lingue, Langstone Learning, Klett World Languages, and Schoolwide. We publish and distribute French, Spanish, German, and Italian materials for elementary, secondary, and post-secondary education across Canada.

Our materials help students build real communicative competence and connect with the world. We believe teachers are at the heart of language learning, so part of our mission is to give them practical tools and ongoing support to make the most of our materials.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Sales Consultant to cover our Western Canada territory on a temporary basis.

You will build strong relationships with new and existing customers by advising, training, recommending solutions, and providing ongoing support. You will work day-to-day with Grupo Difusión's leadership in Barcelona and our sales and operations teams in North America. Our team will provide you with a structured onboarding plan and clear priorities so you can get up to speed quickly.
