PORTLAND, OR

The Company

At Quickskill, our focus is on amplifying personal growth and professional success. We do this for high-performing executives in some of the most competitive companies across the United States, Canada, and Europe. We also do this for ourselves, by investing in leveling up the dynamic global teams in our Portland headquarters and Manila and Guatemala City service centers. Our service culture rests on our social mission to improve the lives of our members, our employees, our families, and our communities, worldwide.

Experts in remote collaboration, it’s just another day at the office for us to be working with a team member in the Philippines or Guatemala to deliver great service to our Quickskill members around the world. We’re a committed group of professionals building a unique client services culture and we are looking to grow our team in Portland. We know we’re on the right track because we were recognized by The Oregonian as one of their Top Places to Work in 2020, 2021 and 2022.

The Job

Are you ready to become the best version of yourself and work with global business leaders? The Associate Engagement Manager (AEM) program places you in an international role on day one. It is the entry point into Quickskill’s Engagement Manager group and a great way to start a career at Quickskill and beyond. In this role, you will begin to build business expertise by learning the ins and outs of how to effectively manage service delivery for Quickskill Members. You’ll learn to communicate effectively cross-culturally and into the executive suite, as you engage in high-velocity learning to master key business skills, creating a platform for achieving any of your future goals.

Your AEM program will last 2-3 years, during which you will:

  • Gain business communication and client relationship management skills
  • Obtain certification with valuable SaaS tools
  • Gain professional recognition in project management and business process design

After the initial two years, high-performing AEMs generally advance to Engagement Manager, a position from which they typically manage a business portfolio of over $1 million in revenue. Successful Quickskill AEMs and EMs have moved into director roles at Quickskill, as well as into leadership roles at some of the country’s fastest-growing technology companies like BOX, Gusto, Greenhouse, and Culture Amp. Others are situated for acceptance into top graduate programs in law, public policy, and business, or other roles within Quickskill, an Inc 5000 Fastest Growing Company itself.
