[Hiring] Enrollment Advisor @Somewhere

Role Description

Demand for our program has outgrown the number of people who can talk to families. We're building a team of Enrollment Advisors to own those conversations from first call to signed enrollment.

• Speak with parents and students across the U.S. who are weighing a meaningful investment in their child's education.
• Understand what each student wants, explain how the program works, and help families make a confident decision before the cohort deadline.
• This is a consultative sales role where high-pressure tactics are not used.

Key Responsibilities

• Family Consultations & Enrollment:
  • Run scheduled video and phone consultations with parents and students.
  • Learn each student's grade, academic interests, and goals before recommending a path.
  • Present the program clearly: mentor matching, the 8 to 10 week research process, and final outputs.
  • Handle questions and concerns on cost, time commitment, and fit with honesty and confidence.
  • Close enrollments ahead of each cohort's application deadline.
• Pipeline & Follow-Up:
  • Follow up with families who need time to decide, using a consistent, deadline-aware cadence.
  • Keep every lead, call note, and next step current in the CRM.
  • Work the pipeline hardest in the weeks before each cohort closes.
  • Hit weekly and monthly enrollment targets.
• Program Knowledge & Integrity:
  • Know the program well enough to answer detailed questions about research areas, mentors, and publication pathways.
  • Represent outcomes accurately and never promise admissions results.
  • Hand enrolled families off smoothly to the academic team.
• Team & Feedback:
  • Share objections and questions to improve messaging and scripts.
  • Contribute to call scripts and training materials as the team grows.

Qualifications

• 2+ years in consultative sales, admissions, or another client-facing role with measurable conversion targets.
• A track record of closing with the decision-maker over phone or video.
• Excellent spoken and written English, polished for conversations with highly educated U.S. parents.
• Comfortable working from a call script and keeping a CRM up to date.
• Available 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern on one of the three schedules, including weekend days where required.
• Reliable high-speed internet and a quiet, professional space for video calls.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in education consulting, college admissions, test prep, study abroad, or edtech sales.
• Enrollment advisor experience for U.S. universities or online degree programs.
• Familiarity with the U.S. college admissions process.
• Experience selling a higher-ticket service to families or individual consumers.
• Bachelor's degree.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• A consultative closer who asks good questions before pitching.
• Warm and credible with parents, comfortable talking with a curious 15-year-old.
• Persistent on follow-up without being pushy.
• Honest about what a program can and can't do, valuing trust.
• Motivated by a commission that rewards volume, organized to manage a full pipeline.
• Coachable, quick to adopt a script, and willing to provide feedback.

Benefits

• Earnings that grow with you, with commission on every enrollment above a set baseline.
• Work that matters, helping students take on real research.
• Room to grow, with strong advisors shaping the playbook and paths into team leadership.
