About the Company

We are a rapidly growing education company serving U.S. families. We run a selective, one-on-one research mentorship program for high school students in grades 9 through 12.

Students are paired with PhD researchers from leading universities and spend 8 to 10 weeks taking an original research question from idea to finished paper, then prepare it for submission to peer-reviewed journals and academic conferences. Our programs span STEM, the social sciences, and the humanities, and run in cohorts throughout the year.

Families come to us because they want their student to do real academic work, not résumé padding. Most of them start with a short consultation call, and that conversation is where this role lives.

About the Role

Demand for our program has outgrown the number of people who can talk to families. We're building a team of Enrollment Advisors to own those conversations from first call to signed enrollment.

You'll speak with parents and students across the U.S. who are weighing a meaningful investment in their child's education. Your job is to understand what that student wants, explain honestly how the program works and what it can deliver, and help the family make a confident decision before the cohort deadline.

This is a consultative sales role. The advisors who succeed here earn trust on the first call and follow through on the second and third. High-pressure tactics don't work with this audience, and we don't want them.

Key Responsibilities

Family Consultations & Enrollment

Run scheduled video and phone consultations with parents and students
Learn each student's grade, academic interests, and goals before recommending a path
Present the program clearly: how mentor matching works, the 8 to 10 week research process, and what students produce at the end
Handle questions and concerns on cost, time commitment, and fit with honesty and confidence
Close enrollments ahead of each cohort's application deadline

Pipeline & Follow-Up

Follow up with families who need time to decide, using a consistent, deadline-aware cadence
Keep every lead, call note, and next step current in the CRM
Work the pipeline hardest in the weeks before each cohort closes
Hit weekly and monthly enrollment targets

Program Knowledge & Integrity

Know the program well enough to answer detailed questions about research areas, mentors, and publication pathways
Represent outcomes accurately and never promise admissions results
Hand enrolled families off smoothly to the academic team so their first experience after signing is a good one

Team & Feedback

Share the objections and questions you hear most so messaging and scripts keep improving
Contribute to call scripts and training materials as the team grows

Required Qualifications

2+ years in consultative sales, admissions, or another client-facing role with measurable conversion targets
A track record of closing with the decision-maker over phone or video
Excellent spoken and written English, polished enough for conversations with highly educated U.S. parents
Comfortable working from a call script and keeping a CRM up to date
Available 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern on one of the three schedules, including weekend days where the schedule requires it
Reliable high-speed internet and a quiet, professional space for video calls

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in education consulting, college admissions, test prep, study abroad, or edtech sales
Enrollment advisor experience for U.S. universities or online degree programs
Familiarity with the U.S. college admissions process
Experience selling a higher-ticket service to families or individual consumers
Bachelor's degree

Ideal Candidate Profile

You are:

A consultative closer who asks good questions before you pitch anything
Warm and credible with parents, and just as comfortable talking with a curious 15-year-old
Persistent on follow-up without ever being pushy
Honest about what a program can and can't do, because you know trust is what closes
Motivated by a commission that rewards volume, and organized enough to work a full pipeline
Coachable, quick to adopt a script, and happy to tell us when part of it isn't landing

Why Join Us

Earnings that grow with you. Every enrollment above a set baseline earns commission, and the per-student rate steps up at higher volumes.
Work that matters. You'll help students take on real research and give families an honest picture of what that involves.
Room to grow. We're building this team now. Strong advisors will help shape the playbook and have a path into team leadership.
