[Hiring] Student Success Coach @egelloC Corporation

Role Description

We are looking for a strategic, highly organized, and relationship-driven Student Success Coach to guide students and families through one of the most important journeys of their lives. This is not a traditional administrative counseling role. Our coaches act as strategic partners for families, helping students build competitive profiles, stay accountable, navigate admissions milestones, and position themselves successfully for highly selective universities.

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.

What You’ll Own

• Individualized Coaching & Accountability: Guide students and families through academic planning, extracurricular development, testing strategy, and application timelines through regular meetings and ongoing communication.
• Strategic Admissions Planning: Help students build competitive long-term profiles aligned with their academic interests, intended majors, and target universities.
• UC & Common App Positioning: Advise students on how to strategically position their stories, achievements, activities, and essays across both the UC application system and the Common App.
• Parent Communication & Guidance: Serve as a trusted and professional advisor for families by providing transparency, reassurance, accountability, and strategic direction throughout the admissions journey.
• Student Progress & Intervention: Proactively monitor student progress, identify gaps or missed milestones early, and intervene strategically to keep students on track.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Essay Editing, Client Success, and internal leadership teams to ensure a seamless and high-quality student experience.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of college admissions coaching, counseling, or mentoring experience required.
• Experience as an Independent Educational Consultant (IEC) is strongly preferred.
• Experience independently managing the full college admissions counseling process, including academic planning, extracurricular and activities planning, major and college selection, application strategy, and college application advising from start to finish.
• 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: You understand that successful admissions outcomes are built through long-term positioning, storytelling, accountability, and execution.
• Organized Operators: You can confidently manage multiple students and families while maintaining high-quality communication and strategic oversight.
• Strong Communicators: You are comfortable leading Zoom meetings, delivering feedback, recording video feedback, and building trust with both students and parents.
• Collaborative Team Players: You thrive in feedback-heavy environments and enjoy collaborating cross-functionally with other high-performing team members.
• Tech-Comfortable Professionals: You 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.
