Build Your Career by Helping Students Build Theirs
Elevate Education is a fast-growing international education company helping Myanmar students access quality education opportunities abroad.
Our mission is to help students see a bigger future and feel closer to it.
We guide students and families from uncertainty to clarity—helping them understand their options, choose the right education pathway and confidently take the next step toward their future.
As we continue to grow, we are expanding our Global Student Success Team and looking for ambitious people who are exceptional at meeting people, building trust, developing clients and achieving results.
This Is Not a Typical Counseling Job
You won’t simply wait for students to be assigned to you.
As an Education Counselor, you will:
Find prospective students → Build relationships → Counsel students & parents → Recommend the right study options → Follow up → Convert → Enroll
Elevate will provide prospective students through our marketing, school partnerships, events and other channels. At the same time, you will be expected to actively develop your own student pipeline through referrals, networking, outreach, events and other appropriate channels.
If you have succeeded in sales, client acquisition, business development, student recruitment, education counseling or another target-driven client-facing career, we want to hear from you.
Previous study-abroad experience is an advantage, but not essential. We provide comprehensive training in study-abroad counseling and university knowledge.
What You’ll Do
- Professionally counsel students and parents face-to-face and online about international study opportunities.
- Understand each student’s academic background, interests, career goals, budget and preferences and recommend suitable universities and programs.
- Provide accurate information about programs, admission requirements, tuition fees, scholarships, intakes and application procedures.
- Manage, follow up and convert prospective students generated through Elevate’s marketing, school partnerships, events and other channels.
- Actively identify and develop your own prospective students instead of relying only on company-generated leads.
- Build your own student pipeline through referrals, networking, outreach, events, personal/professional connections and other approved channels.
- Build long-term relationships with students and parents and maintain disciplined follow-up throughout their decision-making journey.
- Take ownership of your pipeline from prospect and counseling through application and successful enrollment.
- Achieve assigned individual KPIs and enrollment targets, including self-generated leads, counseling, applications, conversion and enrollments.
- Maintain accurate student, pipeline and follow-up records in company systems.
- Work closely with Student Services, Marketing, School Partnerships and other teams to deliver a strong student experience.
- Continuously develop your knowledge of universities, programs, scholarships and international education opportunities.
Beyond the Office
Our counselors meet students across Myanmar—not only at our Yangon office.
You will be expected to participate in:
- Elevate’s Annual Education Fairs
- University fairs and exhibitions
- Workshops and seminars
- School visits and school events
- City Counseling Sessions and city events
- Other student recruitment and university activities
These activities may take place in Yangon, Mandalay, Taunggyi, Naypyitaw, Mawlamyine, Pyay and other cities across Myanmar.
Some activities may take place on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays, and business trips may require several days of travel.
Willingness to travel and participate in weekend activities when required is an essential part of this role.Who We’re Looking For
We are particularly interested in candidates from:
Sales | Business Development | Client Acquisition | Student Recruitment | Education Counseling | Customer Relationship Management
You may be a particularly strong fit if:
You have previously worked in a role where you had to find clients, build your own pipeline, maintain relationships, achieve targets and convert opportunities into results.
Your experience does not have to come from the education industry.
Training & Development
Study-abroad counseling requires extensive professional and product knowledge, so successful candidates will receive structured training from Elevate.
You will learn about:
- Partner universities and programs
- Admission requirements and application processes
- Tuition fees and scholarships
- University and program comparison
- Student needs assessment and counseling
- Application and student-support processes
- Professional counseling and conversion techniques
