We’re a diverse group of doers, problem solvers, big-thinkers, and life-long learners, who challenge the way things have been done and ask, “why not?”. Who put relationships first and welcome each other’s differences, backgrounds, and perspectives.
Together, we’re connected by the same drive—to be a champion for all students and help them confidently make smart decisions. Come do more than join something, change something. For students, for future generations, for the future of education.
What I love most about my job is hands down, my coworkers. We laugh, we collaborate, and we make amazing things happen every day.
Julie
IT
I have been given so many growth opportunities by my leadership teams. It’s not often one works for a company that strives to build up its employees, but Sallie Mae is one of those companies.
Mary Anne
Procurement
I was a Sallie Mae customer long before I was an employee and private loans made it possible for me to go to law school. It’s gratifying to know that through my work, I play a small part in opening the door of higher education for others.
Cara
General Counsel
I love the people I work beside—the comradery, the teamwork, and the unceasing support. I am learning all the time from the best people.
Country
Compliance
I am proud of the work that all of us do together—breaking down barriers and helping so many make higher education achievable.
Kelly
Sales
I’ve been here for many years now, and one of the big factors in me staying is the importance given to work-life balance. All of us are juggling many hats and Sallie Mae always puts our well-being first.
Dan

Being a part of the team and observing how each role, each voice, and everyone’s collective contribution delivers our results is remarkable and something I genuinely enjoy.
