Nerdy is looking for high-performing sales and customer retention professionals in the Philippines to join our growing Customer Retention team.

This is not a traditional support role. It is a sales-driven retention position. Your mission is to protect revenue, rebuild customer trust, and turn cancellation requests into renewed confidence in our services.

You'll lead meaningful, high-stakes conversations with families who are thinking about leaving. Using consultative selling, empathy, and resilience, you'll uncover what they need, work through their objections, and recommend the right solutions to keep students on track.

If you thrive in performance-based environments, love to close, and care about education, this is your chance to make a measurable impact and be rewarded for your results.

• Innovative technology: Join a leading U.S. tutoring company that is transforming education through technology and personalized learning.
• Career growth: This full-time, fully remote role includes hands-on training and performance-based advancement into training, leadership, and other areas of the business. Excel here and watch your career and earnings grow.
• Lucrative bonuses: Beat your retention and renewal targets to unlock performance bonuses and additional incentives.
• Real impact: Help students reach their academic goals and make a lasting difference in their learning journey.

• Own a high volume of inbound cancellation and at-risk customer calls, with a focus on retaining revenue.
• Lead consultative conversations to uncover needs and recommend solutions such as tutoring programs, live classes, or homeschool support.
• Turn objections into opportunities through persuasive, empathetic communication.
• Take full ownership of at-risk accounts and re-engage families with personalized recommendations.
• Meet and exceed key performance metrics, including saves, renewals, revenue retention, and customer satisfaction.
• Use Nerdy AI and internal systems to guide conversations and speed up solutions.
• Keep accurate CRM records and follow up on every commitment.
• Handle complex or emotionally charged situations with professionalism and a win-back mindset.
• Share insights with sales, product, and training teams to strengthen our retention strategy.
• Apply coaching and feedback to keep improving your performance.

• You consistently retain at-risk customers by matching solutions to their needs.
• Families trust you as a knowledgeable advisor who helps them navigate their child's learning journey.
• You meet or exceed weekly and monthly revenue retention targets, and earn strong bonuses as a result.
• You embrace coaching, refine your approach, and use AI tools to raise your performance every day.

• Fluent English with strong reading, writing, and verbal communication skills.
• 3+ years of experience in sales, customer retention, escalations, or consultative phone-based roles.
• At least 6 months living or working in an English-speaking market, or in a role that required professional English for full shifts (e.g., the travel industry).
• A proven track record of meeting or exceeding sales or revenue retention goals.
• Strong objection-handling and closing skills under pressure.
• Experience handling escalations or save/cancel conversations.
• High emotional intelligence and empathy, especially when working with families.
• Comfort with CRM platforms and AI-powered tools.
• Strong organization and time management in a fast-paced environment.
