Role Overview :
The Admissions Counsellor is an individual contributor role responsible for owning end-to-end admissions conversations and driving conversions across the funnel through credible counselling, clarity, and follow-through.

- Offer → Acceptance (O2A)
- Acceptance → Enrollment
- Proactively manage:
- Stalled cases
- Fence-sitters
- High-intent and high-risk leads
- Ensure timely follow-ups aligned with admissions cycles and deadlines
3. High-Quality Parent & Student Experience
- Handle parent conversations with maturity and confidence
- Address concerns around ROI, outcomes, and long-term career pathways
- Maintain a consultative tone focused on fit, not pressure
- Escalate complex cases appropriately when required
4. Process Discipline & CRM Hygiene
- Maintain accurate and timely CRM updates
- Follow admissions policies, communication standards, and compliance norms
- Ensure clean documentation across applications, offers, and enrollments
5. Ethics, Professionalism & Ownership
- Uphold ethical admissions standards at all times
- Take ownership of outcomes, learnings, and continuous improvement
- Collaborate with peers and managers to share best practices
Ideal Candidate Profile:
- 1–3 years of experience in:

- Education sales
- Inside sales (high-ticket, consultative)
- Strong experience in parent-facing conversations is highly preferred
- Experience with structured funnels, targets, and CRMs is required
What We’re Looking For:
- Strong communication and listening skills
- Ability to explain complex programs simply and honestly
- Comfort with targets without compromising integrity
- High ownership mindset and process discipline
