Job description

Steamoji Kelowna is an after school STEM maker academy for kids where we ignite the spark of innovation in children aged 5-14, transforming them into the next generation of innovators, builders, makers, inventors, and entrepreneurs . Our dynamic programs immerse children in cutting-edge technologies like fabrication, engineering, physical computing, and digital arts . We don't just teach technology—we empower kids to create it.

Steamoji Kelowna is seeking a dynamic, results-driven professional to serve as our Assistant Director, Sales & Enrollment . In this role, you will be the key driver in converting prospective families into enrolled students. You’ll oversee the entire sales pipeline — from initial inquiry and lead follow-up to in-person trial sessions and immediate enrollment — while also supporting day-to-day center operations. If you thrive on hitting targets, enjoy persuading people to take action, and have the leadership skills to help shape a growing educational center, we want to hear from you!

Responsibilities :

• Proactively follow up with all inbound leads (phone, email, walk-ins) to schedule trial sessions and center tours.
• Conduct compelling, personalized tours and trial experiences for prospective families.
• Consistently and confidently “ask for the sale” to secure on-the-spot enrollments.
• Track and report on enrollment metrics, ensuring monthly and quarterly targets are met or exceeded.
• Develop and execute local sales initiatives (e.g., school outreach, community events, partnerships) to drive brand awareness and generate leads.
• Collaborate with the Center Director and marketing team on campaigns, promotions, and lead-generation activities.
• Maintain an up-to-date CRM or database of leads, contacts, and enrollment statuses.

Center Operations & Management :

Support the Center Director in the day-to-day operations of the academy, ensuring an organized, welcoming environment for students and families.

Provide ongoing staff training / coaching related to customer service and enrollment processes.

Customer Relationship Management :

Build long-term relationships with parents by consistently communicating the value and benefits of the Steamoji programs.

Strategic Collaboration & Improvement :

Work closely with the Center Director to forecast enrollment, set sales goals, and refine outreach strategies.

Regularly assess and improve sales scripts, trial session protocols, and tour experiences based on feedback and performance data.

Stay informed about industry trends and competitor activities to maintain a competitive edge.

Qualifications :

Education & Experience :

Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

1+ years of proven success in a sales, enrollment, or business development role (experience in education or children’s programs is a plus).

Track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets in a client-facing environment.

Strong negotiation and closing skills, with the confidence to ask for the commitment on the spot.

Communication & Interpersonal Skills :

Exceptional verbal and written communication skills to build rapport with parents and students.

Positive, enthusiastic attitude with the ability to motivate and lead by example.

Organizational & Leadership Skills :

Capable of juggling multiple tasks—such as scheduling, event coordination, and follow-up calls—without losing focus on sales goals.

Willingness to step into a leadership role, guiding part-time staff and assisting the Center Director in running daily operations.

Tech & Analytical Skills :

Comfortable using CRM systems, spreadsheets, and other sales tracking tools.

Ability to interpret data and metrics to refine enrollment strategies.
