Company Introduction
WorldStrides is the global leader in educational travel and experiential learning. The company was founded in 1967 to provide middle school travel programs to Washington, D.C. and has grown to provide a wide range of programs for more than half a million students annually to over 100 countries around the world. WorldStrides offers experiential learning programs in educational travel, performing arts, language immersion, career exploration, service-learning, study abroad, and sports. Each of these experiences helps students to see beyond the classroom and to see the world – and themselves – in new ways.
The Role
WorldStrides is building its events and partner marketing capability from the ground up — and this role owns it. As Senior Manager of Events & Partner Marketing, you will design and run the events strategy that puts WorldStrides in front of the right educators and school leaders at the right moments, and simultaneously build a partner marketing program that creates scalable, co-branded lead generation through district alliances, association partnerships, and channel relationships. This is a builder role — you will create programs, not manage existing ones.
Key Responsibilities
Events Strategy & Execution

Own the annual events calendar across K-12 Domestic, International, Sports and Performing Arts — from national education conferences to regional roadshows to hosted educator events
•
Design the WorldStrides events experience: booth presence, speaking opportunities, hosted dinners, and student showcases
•
Manage event logistics, budget, vendor relationships, and on-site execution from end to end

Build pre- and post-event nurture programs with Marketing Ops to convert event leads into pipeline

Track event ROI: MQL contribution, cost-per-lead, and pipeline influence
Partner Marketing
•
Identify, develop, and activate strategic marketing partnerships with school districts, education associations (Eg NSTA), , and complementary travel brands
•
Build co-marketing programs — co-branded emails, joint events, shared content — that drive qualified leads for WorldStrides
•
Manage partner contracts, onboarding, and quarterly performance reviews
•
Develop a partner enablement toolkit to scale partner-sourced pipeline efficiently
What Success Looks Like
•
Events contribute measurably to MQL and pipeline targets each quarter
•
Partner marketing program launched with 10+ active partners in Year 1
•
Cost-per-MQL from events and partners competitive with or below digital channels
•
Post-event lead nurture sequences converting at or above benchmark rates

•
Generous paid time off including 11 paid company holidays, 25 PTO days the first year (prorated), 1 paid volunteer day, 4 mental health days, and bereavement
•
Professional development support, including up to $5,250 annually for tuition reimbursement and up to $1,000 for certifications annually
