Assessment Consultant

Hogrefe Publishing is an international publishing group specializing in psychology and mental health. With more than 500 staff in Europe, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and the United States, Hogrefe has been publishing psychological assessments, books, and journals for more than 75 years.

Hogrefe is looking for an experienced sales professional in the educational product or psychological assessment field to join our team in the U.S. With a focus on helping psychologists and educators understand the value of the administration, scoring, and interpretation of Hogrefe assessments, you will meet with schools, clinics, universities, and state departments of education to showcase our products and ensure their usage with students. You will also work collaboratively with our development and marketing teams to create products and materials that are driven by customer need and demonstrate your expertise in our assessments and their development process at state and national conferences.

Ideally you would be working within our hybrid arrangement, splitting your time between our Boston-area office (Newburyport) and working remotely, which would provide you with the opportunity to work in the office when not visiting customers, and contribute directly with our team as we further our test adaptation plans for Hogrefe assessments in the U.S.
