[Hiring] Student Success Coach @egelloC Corporation

Role Description

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.
  • 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.
  • 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):
  • Serve as the 'Editor-in-Chief' of the student’s story.
  • Provide the final strategic approval for every PIQ and personal statement.
• Strategic Intervention:
  • Proactively monitor progress and "strategically intervene" to ensure every milestone is met.
• Expert Parent Liaison:
  • Serve as the "Voice of Truth" for parents.
  • Lead meetings, provide timely updates, and manage expectations with empathy and professional authority.
• Collaborative Support:
  • Partner with the Client Success team to ensure a seamless family experience.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of College Admissions Coaching.
• Deep knowledge of all 9 UC undergraduate campuses, the CSU system, impacted majors, and varying competition levels.
• Sophisticated understanding of the admissions landscape for Top 100 U.S. colleges and universities.
• Ability to navigate a busy caseload with precision.
• Dedicated team player who thrives in a feedback-heavy environment.
• Technical proficiency in Slack, Discord, Calendly, Google Drive, and Zoom.
• Proactive mindset to spot and fix potential issues before they become problems.

This Role is NOT For You If...

• You are a "Wait-and-See" Person.
• You are a "Lone Wolf".
• You are "Finished" Learning.
• You Treat the UC/CSU Apps as an Afterthought.
• You’re Looking for a "Chill" Remote Job.

How to Apply

• Submit your resume.
• Complete the Application Questionnaire.
• Provide a brief Loom video (under 4 minutes) introducing yourself and answering:
  • What is the #1 strategic mistake you see "Common App experts" make when they try to coach a student on their UC PIQs?
  • How do you keep a student motivated and on-track when they are struggling to meet their application milestones?
• No Loom = No Consideration.

Benefits

• Full-time, Remote position.
• Paid Training.
• Unlimited PTO.
• Paid Holidays.
