We are a rapidly growing education company serving U.S. families. We run a selective, one-on-one research mentorship program for high school students in grades 9 through 12.

Students are paired with PhD researchers from leading universities and spend 8 to 10 weeks taking an original research question from idea to finished paper, then prepare it for submission to peer-reviewed journals and academic conferences. Our programs span STEM, the social sciences, and the humanities, and run in cohorts throughout the year.

Families come to us because they want their student to do real academic work, not résumé padding. Most of them start with a short consultation call, and that conversation is where this role lives.

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.

You'll speak with parents and students across the U.S. who are weighing a meaningful investment in their child's education. Your job is to understand what that student wants, explain honestly how the program works and what it can deliver, and help the family make a confident decision before the cohort deadline.

This is a consultative sales role. The advisors who succeed here earn trust on the first call and follow through on the second and third. High-pressure tactics don't work with this audience, and we don't want them.
