We are a mission-driven education startup dedicated to transforming how international students from underserved regions access quality education and meaningful careers.

About the Role
As a Student Admissions Counselor, you’ll be the first and most important touchpoint for our student community. This role requires a unique blend of empathy and business acumen — you'll be guiding aspiring students in making life-changing decisions while also contributing directly to the organization’s revenue through successful enrollments.
You’ll be responsible for managing the entire admissions journey — from initial outreach and counseling to conversion and handover — ensuring every student feels supported, heard, and guided toward the right educational and career choices.
What You’ll Do
Lead Outreach & Prospecting
Identify and connect with potential students through structured outreach strategies and deep research. Understand their academic, financial, and professional backgrounds.
End-to-End Enrollment Management
Take ownership of each student’s admissions lifecycle — from the first call to successful enrollment — with consistent follow-ups and a structured counseling process.
Advisory & Guidance
Serve as a trusted advisor to students. Provide clear, empathetic, and goal-oriented counseling on courses, programs, and career paths.
Performance-Driven Decision-Making
Monitor your performance using enrollment metrics and productivity data. Use insights to improve your approach and increase conversion rates while maintaining a high level of student satisfaction.
Collaboration & Handover
Work closely with the Admissions Operations and Student Services teams to ensure seamless onboarding and a smooth post-enrollment experience for every student.
What We’re Looking For
1–3 years of experience in academic counseling, education sales, ed-tech, admissions, or a similar high-touch B2C environment
Strong communication skills — you can listen well, articulate clearly, and build trust easily
Empathy and patience in dealing with first-generation learners from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds
A sharp, analytical mindset with the ability to treat your pipeline as a business — track performance, meet revenue targets, and iterate for better outcomes
High sense of ownership, emotional intelligence, and adaptability to work in a fast-paced startup culture
Prior experience in education sales or international student counseling is a big plus
What You’ll Gain
A high-impact role where your work directly changes lives
A chance to be part of a fast-scaling, purpose-led startup
Immense personal and professional growth as you work across sales, counseling, and operations
A team culture that rewards ownership, hustle, and long-term thinking
