  • Respond to student and parent queries in a professional, timely, and accurate manner, building trust throughout the application journey

3. Data Management & Research:

  • Ensure accurate tracking of student applications, timelines, and milestones within the student CRM and database
  • Conduct ongoing research on global university trends, evolving admissions policies, and emerging academic programmes
  • Support students in pursuing enrichment opportunities - including the John Locke Essay Competition, Math Olympiads, and other profile-strengthening programmes

Qualifications & Skills:

  • Background (either of the following):Former admissions officer at a US university, preferably a highly selective institution; or Bachelor's degree from a Top 20 US university with 2-3 years of experience in admissions consulting or a closely related field
  • Strong understanding of the US undergraduate admissions landscape, including Ivy League and liberal arts college expectations - drawn from both personal experience and professional practice
