College Admissions Strategist

We are looking for a highly organized and experienced College Admissions Strategist to guide students and families through the college admissions process.

Guide students and families through academic planning, extracurricular development, testing strategy, and application timelines through regular meetings and ongoing communication.

Help students build competitive long-term profiles aligned with their academic interests, intended majors, and target universities.

Advise students on how to strategically position their stories, achievements, activities, and essays across both the UC application system and the Common App.

Serve as a trusted and professional advisor for families by providing transparency, reassurance, accountability, and strategic direction throughout the admissions journey.

Proactively monitor student progress, identify gaps or missed milestones early, and intervene strategically to keep students on track.

Partner closely with Essay Editing, Client Success, and internal leadership teams to ensure a seamless and high-quality student experience.

• 5+ years of college admissions coaching, counseling, or mentoring experience required.
• Experience as an Independent Educational Consultant (IEC) and/or Public High School College Counselor 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.

You understand that successful admissions outcomes are built through long-term positioning, storytelling, accountability, and execution.

You can confidently manage multiple students and families while maintaining high-quality communication and strategic oversight.

You are comfortable leading Zoom meetings, delivering feedback, recording video feedback, and building trust with both students and parents.

You thrive in feedback-heavy environments and enjoy collaborating cross-functionally with other high-performing team members.

You move comfortably between Zoom, Google Drive, Slack, Calendly, Loom, and modern AI-powered systems and tools.

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.
