Responsibilities:
- Own and drive the end-to-end admissions strategy to achieve enrolment targets.
- Lead admission counselling, conversion, and enrolment operations.
- Collaborate closely with marketing teams to strengthen brand positioning and lead generation.
- Build, monitor, and optimise admission funnels and conversion metrics.
- Manage and mentor admissions teams to ensure high performance.
- Develop partnerships and outreach initiatives to enhance student acquisition.
Requirements:
- 8-15+ years of experience in admissions, student recruitment, sales, or business development.
- Prior experience in management education, higher education, or EdTech is preferred.
- Strong understanding of institution positioning, marketing, and consultative sales processes.
- Proven track record of achieving enrolment and revenue targets.
- Excellent stakeholder management, leadership, and team-building skills.
Ideal Candidate:
- A strategic and commercially driven professional who understands the management education landscape, can connect branding with admissions outcomes, and has experience building scalable enrolment processes rather than relying on a standard admissions playbook.
