About Acolyte Living

At Acolyte Living, we help students live their best life when they move to a new country, starting with where they stay. We are building the ecosystem behind better student living and are looking for people who want to grow with us.

About the Role

As a Junior Sales Associate at Acolyte Living, you will be working directly with students navigating one of the most significant decisions of their time abroad, choosing where to live. This is a role for someone early in their sales career who is eager to develop their skills in a structured, fast-paced environment. You will receive dedicated training and on-the-job support before moving into an independent caseload, with clear targets and a defined path for growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Engage with inbound and outbound student leads across email, phone, and messaging platforms
• Understand each student's university, location, budget, timeline, and preferences to recommend the right accommodation options
• Manage follow-ups consistently and move leads through the pipeline toward confirmed bookings
• Coordinate with senior team members and property partners to check availability and confirm bookings
• Keep CRM records updated accurately at every stage of the student journey
• Participate actively in team training sessions, process reviews, and all-hands weeks
• Work toward individual conversion targets and contribute to overall team performance

What We Are Looking For

• 0 to 2 years of experience in sales, customer advisory, or a student-facing role
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
• Willingness to learn and apply structured sales processes
• Consistent follow-up habits and a detail-oriented approach to lead management
• Comfortable working with targets in a performance-driven environment
• Familiarity with CRM tools is a plus
• Prior exposure to overseas education, student services, or EdTech is an advantage

Work Structure

• This role follows a hybrid model with the following schedule:
• During peak season, the role requires three days per week in office at Sector 20, Gurgaon.
• During off-peak periods, this reduces to two days per week in office.
• All new joiners are required to complete a one-month onboarding and on-the-job training period fully from the Sector 20, Gurgaon office. This applies regardless of the standard hybrid schedule.
• In-office presence is mandatory during all-hands-on-deck weeks, which will be communicated in advance by the team.

Work Hours

This role requires flexibility to work in alignment with UK business hours.

Our Values

• Student interest comes first in every decision
• We build relationships that go beyond transactions
• We operate with clarity, transparency, and accountability
• We continuously improve how we deliver value

Why This Role Matters

For many students, the first person they speak to at Acolyte Living sets the tone for their entire experience with us. The Junior Sales Associate is that first voice, and the care, clarity, and consistency they bring to every conversation directly shapes the trust students place in us.
