[Hiring] College Admissions Strategist @egelloC Corporation

Role Description

We are looking for a highly organized and experienced College Admissions Strategist to guide students and families through the college admissions process. This is not a traditional administrative advising role. Our College Admissions Strategists work directly with students and families to:

• Develop personalized admissions strategies
• Strengthen student profiles
• Manage application timelines
• Prepare competitive applications for selective universities

The role requires a strong understanding of college admissions, the ability to manage multiple students, and a practical approach to helping families make informed decisions throughout the process. 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.

You will become the primary point of contact for a caseload of students and families while collaborating closely with our Client Success and Essay Editing teams, allowing you to focus on high-level coaching and admissions strategy rather than logistics or administrative coordination. We are specifically looking for candidates who understand both:

• The nuances of the UC/CSU systems and UC PIQ strategy
• The broader Top 100 admissions landscape

Qualifications

• 5+ years of college admissions coaching, counseling, or mentoring experience required
• Experience as an Independent Educational Consultant (IEC) and/or Public High School College Counselor is strongly preferred
• Experience independently managing the full college admissions counseling process
• Deep familiarity with UC and CSU admissions systems, including PIQs and admissions positioning
• Strong understanding of Top 100 U.S. universities and admissions strategy

Requirements

• Strategic Thinkers: Understand that successful admissions outcomes are built through long-term positioning, storytelling, accountability, and execution
• Organized Operators: Confidently manage multiple students and families while maintaining high-quality communication and strategic oversight
• Strong Communicators: Comfortable leading Zoom meetings, delivering feedback, and building trust with both students and parents
• Collaborative Team Players: Thrive in feedback-heavy environments and enjoy collaborating cross-functionally with other high-performing team members
• Tech-Comfortable Professionals: Move comfortably between Zoom, Google Drive, Slack, Calendly, Loom, and modern AI-powered systems and tools

Benefits

• Full-Time W-2 Employment
• Fully Remote Position
• Paid Training
• PTO
• Paid Holidays
• Health Insurance Coverage
• High-Growth Environment
• Long-Term Career Growth Opportunities
• Collaborative & Mission-Driven Team Culture

Compensation

$70,000 - $80,000 USD per year, paid bi-weekly.

How to Apply

To be considered, please submit:

• Your Resume
• Application Questionnaire Responses
• A short video introduction (recommended under 4 minutes)

Loom is preferred, but we accept any video link format, including Google Drive, YouTube, Vimeo, or similar platforms. The video introduction helps us go beyond the resume and better understand your communication style, coaching presence, and overall fit for a highly collaborative and student-facing role. You may use the video to briefly introduce yourself, your coaching background, your experience with college admissions strategy, and your perspective on supporting students through the admissions journey. We’re excited to learn more about you and your story.
