Student Success Coach (College Admissions Coach)

egelloC is a leading coaching company dedicated to guiding students and families through the college admissions process. Our mission is to empower students with the knowledge, strategies, and confidence needed to secure their dream college acceptances. We take pride in fostering a dynamic, collaborative, and results-driven culture, where every team member plays a crucial role in helping families navigate this important milestone.

About the role

We are looking for a sharp, resourceful Student Success Coach (College Admissions Coach) to lead students toward their top-choice universities. In this vital role, you will be the primary point of contact, providing individualized coaching, ensuring accountability, and implementing strategic plans to help students achieve their top-choice admissions goals. This is a high-level strategy role, not an administrative or copy-editing one.

You will be supported by a dedicated Client Success team for logistics and a specialized Essay Editing team for drafting, allowing you to focus entirely on being the strategic architect of each student's journey.
We are looking for more than a 'Common App generalist'. This role requires a strategist who possesses a clear, granular understanding of the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) systems alongside deep experience with the Common App and the admissions landscape for Top 100 universities. If you can pivot seamlessly between coaching a student on a narrative Ivy League essay and helping them choose the right UC Personal Insight Questions (PIQs) to showcase their technical profile, this is your seat.

What You’ll Own

• Provide individualized coaching and accountability: Serve as the primary point of contact for a caseload of students and their families. Conduct weekly check-ins and monthly meetings to guide students through their academic, extracurricular, and college application milestones.
• Strategic Academic & Profile Planning: Provide expert advice on course selection, major strategy, and building a competitive extracurricular profile over time. You will advise on UC-specific GPA impact and ensure students are strategically positioned for admission to both the UCs and national Top 100 universities.
• Activity Optimization & Packaging: Leverage your tactical mastery to translate student experiences into high-impact descriptions. You will guide students in selecting and quantifying their achievements within the unique constraints of both the Common App and the UC Activities sections.
• Testing & Strategy: Guide families through the nuances of testing timelines (SAT/ACT) and the tactical differences between Test-Optional and Test-Blind environments.
• Strategic Narrative Oversight (PIQ & Essay Approval): You are the 'Editor-in-Chief' of the student’s story. While our dedicated Essay Editing team handles the heavy lifting of drafting and line-editing, you provide the final strategic approval. You ensure every PIQ and personal statement isn't just well-written, but perfectly aligned with the student’s goals and technical profile.
• Strategic Intervention: Serve as the primary driver for a caseload of families. You proactively monitor progress and "strategically intervene" to ensure every milestone is met.
• Expert Parent Liaison: Serve as the "Voice of Truth" for parents. You will proactively lead meetings, provide timely updates, and manage expectations with a mix of empathy and professional authority.
• Collaborative Support: Partner with the Client Success team to ensure a seamless family experience. They handle the scheduling and logistics so you can lead the strategy.
