We are seeking a Student Support Representative to join our corporate admissions team in a high-volume, dialer-based call center environment.
This role is focused on connecting with prospective students quickly and efficiently, providing initial information, and transferring qualified inquiries to campus admissions teams.

  • Follow a defined call flow and quality standards (no strict script, but structured expectations)
  • Accurately log call activity and outcomes in internal systems
  • Maintain a consistent pace of calls and productivity throughout the day
  • Collaborate with team members and leadership to meet performance goals
How You’ll Be Measured
  • Call volume and activity per hour
  • Transfer rates to campus teams
  • Appointment scheduling and attendance
  • Monthly call quality scores
  • Adherence to call flow and process
What We’re Looking For

Required:
  • Strong phone presence and communication skills
  • Ability to work in a high-volume, metrics-driven environment
  • Comfortable being on the phone for the majority of the workday
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Basic computer skills, including light Excel/data entry
Preferred:
  • Previous call center or dialer experience
  • Customer service or outbound calling experience
  • Experience working toward daily/weekly performance metrics

  • You enjoy fast-paced, repetitive work with clear goals
  • You stay motivated by hitting numbers and tracking progress
  • You’re comfortable with structure, feedback, and call coaching
  • You bring a positive, team-oriented attitude to a high-energy environment
Training & Onboarding
  • Paid training (typically ½ day to 1 day)
  • Job shadowing before going live on calls
  • Ongoing coaching and support from leadership
