• Create a warm environment for students and parents to openly discuss their goals.

Requirements:

•  Ability to work one of the weekend days (Sat or Sun) consistently – Because our clients are working parents and middle school/high school students, there will be meetings on weekdays and weekends. However, you will have the flexibility to choose when you start/end work each day and which days you want to have meetings.
•  Self-starter / Responsible / Proactive / Autonomous – We are not the type of organization to micromanage anyone, but in return that means that you are a responsible self-starter who is always on top of returning phone calls, scheduling meetings, etc.
•  Excellent written and verbal communication skills – You will be managing different clients (students/families), all with different personalities, which will require clear communication and strong interpersonal skills since you will be a client-facing representative.
•  Exhibit strong emotional intelligence and communication abilities – If you are someone who gets along well with others and finds it easy and enjoyable to communicate with people, then you would fit this role very well. This role requires a high degree of emotional intelligence and the ability to manage expectations in a firm but pleasant manner.
•  Commitment to honesty and integrity – We've built an incredible amount of trust and credibility over the last 15+ years with the families/students we work with, and we hold everyone on our team to the highest levels of honesty, integrity, and accountability.
