  • Advise prospective students through the inquiry‑to‑enrollment cycle, providing accurate information about programs, admission requirements, financial options, and student support services.
  • Maintain accurate records in the CRM, document all recruitment and communication activity, and contribute to regular progress reports on inquiries, applications, and yield.
  • Work some evenings and weekends for recruitment travel, events, and time‑sensitive social campaigns as needed.

  • Experience with higher education CRMs (e.g. Hubspot) and email/text marketing platforms preferred.
  • Knowledge of digital marketing, enrollment management strategies, and student recruitment best practices preferred.

Qualifications

  • A confessed Christian believing in the principles and beliefs taught in the New Testament of the Bible
