For more than a decade, ApplyBoard's team members have been dedicated to breaking down barriers to international education, while thriving at a company that invests in their career growth. Our six core values guide us in our mission to educate the world, and are the foundation of our company culture.

While the job role is titled "Advisor", the tasks are primarily data-entry in nature - extracting details from documents and entering them into the system with precision.

School & Partner Collaboration

• Communicate with our partner school and assist students in meeting enrollment conditions and resolve any uncertainties.

Communication & Process Guidance

• Clearly communicate and outline all school requirements and deadlines to the student once the offer letter has been received.

Process Maintenance & Improvement

• Ensure application processes are regularly updated to ensure the precision of process details
• Collaborate with schools and internal teams to resolve application issues and continuously improve workflows.

Meeting Key Performance Metrics

• Ensure timely processing of applications, documents, and communications in alignment with established KPIs.

• An associate's or Bachelor's degree is an asset.
• 1-3 years of customer service experience.
• Proficiency in proofreading/ editing text to ensure spelling and grammatical correctness
• Strong analytical abilities, detail-oriented, and a high level of accuracy
• Working knowledge of Google spreadsheets, Microsoft Word, and Gmail
• Adept in researching and problem-solving capabilities
• Someone who thrives in a collaborative, teamwork environment
• Aptitude for prioritizing tasks with an attention to detail to ensure information accuracy
• Ability to work in a flexible, fast-paced environment to meet multiple deadlines and adapt to new policies and procedures
