The Sales Consultant and Event Coordinator role at Scholastic is an exciting opportunity for motivated individuals passionate about sales, education, and community engagement. This position centers on expanding and growing the Book Fair programs by partnering closely with school customers. Candidates will be responsible for managing a defined territory, developing a robust pipeline of book fair bookings, and maximizing the financial and experiential performance of each event.

This full-time, seasonal role offers an hourly wage between $22 and $26 and includes sales compensation via seasonal and annual incentives based on performance metrics like fair count, revenue, and revenue per fair (RPF). This remote/home-based role requires strong organizational and project management skills, resilience under tight deadlines, and the ability to produce consistent, repeatable results by engaging effectively with clients and internal teams alike.
