Our programs are immersive, practical, and live online, designed for adults with full lives, families, and big goals. We don’t just train people, we transform careers.

About the Role: We’re hiring a Sales Development Representative (SDR) - also known internally as an Admissions Coordinator to help us scale our impact by speaking directly with prospective students.

What You’ll Do:

  • Reach out to warm leads via email, SMS, and DMs (no cold calls)

  • Qualify prospective students using a proven script and criteria

  • Book calls into our calendar and ensure leads show up

  • Manage follow-ups and nurture unready leads until they’re ready

  • Use Zoho CRM and other tools to track activity and performance


You’ll Succeed in This Role If You:

  • Are a strong communicator (spoken and written)

  • Have experience in outbound or inbound sales, customer support, or admissions

  • Know how to handle objections, listen deeply, and build rapport fast

  • Are organized, self-motivated, and don’t need someone watching you to perform

  • Are comfortable working remote and hitting daily/weekly KPIs




Benefits

Bonus Points If You Have:

  • Worked in EdTech, coaching, or online programs

  • Career-changed yourself, and love helping others do the same

  • Experience using HubSpot or a similar CRM
