We are looking for a Education Manager to be the face of our brand within the academic community.

By delivering high-impact education and fostering a learning community from a student's first day at university throughout their lifelong career, you will drive trust, brand ambassadorship, and behavior adoption (recommendation, prescription, usage, and advocacy) for Colgate’s Professional oral care portfolio.
