College Counselor, Partnerships (Remote)
• Do you want your work to feel like a calling where you make a difference every day? • Do you believe the college admissions process should inspire families, not overwhelm them? • Are you looking for the training, resources, and support to do the very best college admissions counseling of your careerwhile also gaining the opportunity to grow your skills beyond one-on-one student work? Collegewise is looking for a College Counselor to join our Partnerships Team. This role is perfect for someone who wants to serve students at scale, represent our brand to high-profile partners, and expand into areas like partnership management, program design, and thought leadership. This is a remote position, and candidates must be located in the United States. Who We Are Collegewise is a college counseling company that helps high school students confidently navigate their journey to college. We believe the college admissions process has spun out of control, with too much confusion, too much anxiety, and too many students losing agency for what should be their path to higher education. We're out to change all that. Since 1999, we've helped more than 30,000 "A" students, "C" students, and everyone in between apply and get accepted to schoolssometimes famous, often notthat they're excited to attend. We do it all with just the right mix of advice, encouragement, and occasional cheerleading to ensure that each student's college admissions process goes smoothly and thoughtfully. We also speak in public, write, and constantly look for ways to spread relevant college planning information to anyone who needs it, whether or not they join our program. What's the Job? As a counselor in our Partnerships Division, you'll serve students who come to us through corporate benefits programs, nonprofit collaborations, and other large-scale partnerships. For many of our corporate benefit partners, families have a set number of hours they can use. That means you'll work with a high volume of studentsoften 100+ each yearoffering targeted guidance in shorter bursts. It's less in-depth than our full retail programs, but it's still high-impact: you'll help students make meaningful progress quickly, often sparking such great momentum that families choose to upgrade for more time with you. This role is perfect for counselors who can connect fast, cut through the noise, and deliver exactly what a student needsbalancing efficiency with authentic connection. You'll: • Provide college counseling in both short-term, hourly engagements and longer-term relationships, adapting your approach to fit each student's needs and the time available • Shift seamlessly between individual counseling sessions and group webinars or workshops • Collaborate with our internal teams to ensure a smooth, consistent experience for every partner and student In addition to counseling, there's room to grow. If you're interested, you might: • Help design and improve large-scale educational programs • Partner with our business development team on strategy and implementation • Contribute content, training, or thought leadership for our industry presence You'll work hard, occasionally in the evenings or on a Saturday during the busy fall season. But you'll be helping kids and parents, working with smart, passionate coworkers, and doing it all at an organization that has absolutely no reverence for US News & World Report college rankings. Every college counselor who joins us completes an initial 40-hour training led by our Learning & Development team, followed by mentoring, a support hive of over 80 fellow counselors, access to over ten years of student admissions results to aid you in your work, proprietary software to track your students' progress, and ongoing professional development to help you elevate your counseling and grow in your career here (we've even created our own college counseling master class). And we think that finding, training, and developing the very best college counselors shows in our work. Browse our counselors' bios and you'll see hundreds of glowing testimonials from families. Even our most veteran counselors don't coast on experience. We all want to keep getting better all the time. Doing the Right Thing, Making a Difference, Treating People Right You definitely wouldnt be crossing over to the for-profit dark side here. We have an excellent reputation with both high school counselors and admissions officers. We present at NACAC, local ACACs, and at high schools and community events. We partner with community-based organizations to directly support their students and increase college access. We tell the truth, treat people right, we recycle, and we have at least five confirmed vegetarians here. Were biased, but really, this is a pretty great place to come to work every day. Who We're Looking For (You) • You're someone who makes work a way of life without making it your actual life. Someone who'd rather be challenged by something important than phone it in for
