Job description

Academic Counsellor — Study Abroad (1–3 yrs, Onsite Bengaluru)

Who We Are

Nbyula is an AI-native brand supercharging global talent mobility. As a certified deep-tech research organisation officially backed by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, we are building the world's fastest-growing agentic platform, breaking down borders so nbyula users and professionals can study, train and work anywhere in the world.

And we are moving at breakneck speed. We've driven $14.6M+ in GMV (67X YoY growth). With 2.5M+ website visits, 700k+ total users, and our proprietary, government-validated AI agents sending over 800k+ messages with a <3 Second response time, we've cracked the code. Our ecosystem operates at an incredible customer acquisition and tech ops cost per user. We handle the full journey, and we need elite operators who are ready to scale with us.

What Were Looking For

Around 2,000 students sign up with us every month to plan their master's abroad, and we're building the outbound team that actually guides them from "thinking about it" to enrolled. If you've counselled students or professionals into a paid programme before — and you like that the number on your payslip moves with how many you close — read on.

You’ll be counselling and closing.

We're especially keen to hear from you if you've been an academic / admissions counsellor at an edtech (upGrad, Simplilearn, Scaler, PhysicsWallah, Unacademy and the like) or a study-abroad firm (Leap, Yocket, IDP, AECC and similar). But we don't screen on where you counselled — we screen on how hard you worked and how much you closed.

You're a fit if

• 1–3 years as an academic / admissions counsellor, education consultant, or inside-sales rep who sold a programme, course, or service.
• You can quote your own numbers — students spoken to a day, conversion rate, last quarter's incentive — without checking.
• You see counselling and selling as the same job, not opposites.
• You can join within 30 days and work onsite in Bengaluru, 6 days a week.

What You Get

• Top-of-Market Growth: We don't do standard pay bands or fixed annual raises. We constantly evaluate your market value and pay top dollar to attract and keep the absolute best.
• Zero hassle Time Off (For Real): We don't track office hours or hassle you for vacation days. You decide when you need a break—whether it's a Tuesday afternoon or a long annual break. All we care about is elite performance; your time is your concern.
• Total Financial & Decision Autonomy: No multi-level approvals or red tape. If a tool or process helps you do your job better, you make the call. You own your decisions.
• Elite Company: You'll be surrounded by "stunning colleagues". We only keep elite performers, which means you're always playing alongside the best.
• Ownership: The opportunity to own a piece of a company (stock options) that is actively tearing down borders and redefining a $255B+ market.
