• Assist students in preparing and reviewing application documents such as Statements of Purpose (SOPs), resumes, and other required documentation.
• Educate students and parents about admission requirements, scholarships, tuition fees, accommodation, and career opportunities.
• Maintain regular follow-ups with prospective students and nurture leads through the admissions journey.
• Coordinate with admissions, documentation, and visa teams to ensure timely application processing.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with students, parents, and university representatives.
• Keep up to date with international education trends, university requirements, visa policies, and scholarship opportunities.
• Maintain accurate student records and update CRM systems with counselling notes and application progress.
• Achieve individual counselling, application, and enrollment targets while delivering an exceptional student experience.

Your Expertise:

• Familiarity with English language proficiency tests such as IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, or Duolingo English Test.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
• Strong interpersonal, counselling, and relationship-building skills.
• Experience using CRM software and Microsoft Office or Google Workspace.
• Ability to manage multiple student applications while maintaining accuracy and meeting deadlines.
• Sales, lead management, and conversion experience will be an added advantage.

We're looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about helping students achieve their international education goals.
• A confident communicator with excellent counselling and interpersonal skills.
• Empathetic, patient, and committed to delivering an outstanding student experience.
• Self-motivated, proactive, and capable of managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
