Role Overview

This role is operationally critical and sits at the core of the university application process in a B2B setup.

You will be responsible for end‑to‑end application execution, acting as the central coordinator between partners/agents and universities. The focus is on accuracy, timelines, and process discipline—this is not a student‑facing counseling role.

Success in this role requires the ability to manage multiple applications simultaneously, ensure documentation accuracy, and drive consistent follow‑ups.

Key Responsibilities

• Shortlist relevant universities based on student profiles and partner requirements using internal tools (including AI-based tools) and independent research
• Conduct basic evaluation of student profiles to assess application suitability
• Coordinate with partners/agents to collect complete and accurate documentation
• Understand and manage university‑specific requirements, deadlines, and application processes
• Submit applications on university portals/official channels with high accuracy
• Maintain real‑time tracking of application status across all cases
• Drive timely follow‑ups with:
  • Partners (for documents and inputs)
  • Universities (for application updates, clarifications, and decisions)
• Ensure zero/near‑zero errors in application submissions and documentation
• Maintain strict adherence to timelines and process workflows
• Attend university webinars/training sessions and document key updates and insights
• Efficiently manage multiple applications/cases in parallel without quality drop

Core Skills & Competencies

• Working knowledge of the study abroad application process
• Familiarity with:
  • Admission requirements
  • Documentation (SOP, LORs, transcripts, etc.)
  • Application timelines and cycles
  • University portals
• Strong coordination and stakeholder management skills
• Excellent written communication for professional interactions
• High attention to detail and process accuracy
• Ability to work in a high‑volume, process‑driven environment
• Strong time management and multitasking ability
• High ownership, accountability, and follow‑through

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 6–12 months of relevant experience in:
  • Study abroad operations
  • Application processing
  • Backend operations in a similar domain
• Comfortable with repetitive, execution‑heavy work
• Strong follow‑up mindset and ability to drive closures
• Ability to handle multiple cases without losing track
