Student Success Coach (College Admissions Coach)

About the role

We are looking for a strategic, highly organized, and relationship-driven Student Success Coach to guide students and families through one of the most important journeys of their lives.

This is not a traditional administrative counseling role. Our coaches act as strategic partners for families, helping students build competitive profiles, stay accountable, navigate admissions milestones, and position themselves successfully for highly selective universities.

We highly value candidates with previous experience as an Independent Educational Consultant (IEC) who have independently guided students through the complete college admissions process, from long-term academic planning to final application submission.

Responsibilities

• Guide students and families through academic planning, extracurricular development, testing strategy, and application timelines through regular meetings and ongoing communication.
• Help students build competitive long-term profiles aligned with their academic interests, intended majors, and target universities.
• Advise students on how to strategically position their stories, achievements, activities, and essays across both the UC application system and the Common App.
• Serve as a trusted and professional advisor for families by providing transparency, reassurance, accountability, and strategic direction throughout the admissions journey.
• Proactively monitor student progress, identify gaps or missed milestones early, and intervene strategically to keep students on track.
• Partner closely with Essay Editing, Client Success, and internal leadership teams to ensure a seamless and high-quality student experience.

Requirements

• 3+ years of college admissions coaching, counseling, or mentoring experience required.
• Experience as an Independent Educational Consultant (IEC) is strongly preferred.
• Experience independently managing the full college admissions counseling process, including academic planning, extracurricular and activities planning, major and college selection, application strategy, and college application advising from start to finish.
• Deep familiarity with UC and CSU admissions systems, including PIQs and admissions positioning.
• Strong understanding of Top 100 U.S. universities and admissions strategy.

Qualifications

• You understand that successful admissions outcomes are built through long-term positioning, storytelling, accountability, and execution.
• You can confidently manage multiple students and families while maintaining high-quality communication and strategic oversight.
• You are comfortable leading Zoom meetings, delivering feedback, recording video feedback, and building trust with both students and parents.
• You thrive in feedback-heavy environments and enjoy collaborating cross-functionally with other high-performing team members.
• You move comfortably between Zoom, Google Drive, Slack, Calendly, Loom, and modern AI-powered systems and tools.

Skills

• Strategic thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• Proficiency in using technology and modern AI-powered systems and tools.

Benefits

• Paid training
• PTO
• Paid holidays
