• • Student Support and Onboarding – Serve as a friendly resource for students by assisting with product registration, setup, and troubleshooting. You’ll help your peers get signed up and started with Pearson products, ensuring a smooth experience from day one. 
• • Collect and Share Feedback – Gather feedback from students about Pearson products through surveys, focus groups, or one on one conversations to understand what’s working and what could be improved. 
• • Campus Outreach – Work closely with Pearson’s teams to promote new and existing products and initiatives on your campus. This might include distributing marketing materials, creating social media content, or spreading the word about Pearson’s offerings. You’ll also provide feedback on Pearson’s marketing campaigns and product ideas from a student perspective. 
• • Training and Meetings – Participate in regular conference calls, trainings, and team meetings with Pearson staff and fellow PSAs.

Familiarity with Pearson’s products (such as MyLab, Mastering, Revel, or eTextbooks) is a plus – you should be eager to learn and advocate for these digital learning tools.
