Through immersive learning programs, Tilting Futures helps young people develop the skills, perspectives, and experiences to create meaningful change. We are seeking an individual who is excited about sharing our mission and programs directly to students on our college partner campuses.

As our Campus Recruitment Specialist, you'll work directly on our higher education partner campuses, bringing our mission to life for both students and school stakeholders who can send students your way, term after term. You will turn student curiosity into enrolled students across all of our programs. You'll do this by leading info sessions and classroom talks, answering questions, supporting students through barriers, and coordinating closely with Admissions and Marketing all the way to enrollment day.

This is a role for someone who'd rather be at a table in the student union than in an office, who can read a room of skeptical juniors and know exactly what will land.

Our higher education recruitment approach is still evolving, and there won't always be a playbook. You should enjoy turning broad goals into action, testing ideas, learning from results, and building the best practices that lets others replicate what works.
