The successful candidate will actively follow every prospective family from initial enquiry through enrolment, while also developing new sources of prospective students through relationships with embassies, multinational companies, relocation agencies, international organisations, schools and other relevant partners.

In addition, the role will act as the school's champion for admissions and student information systems, particularly OpenApply and iSAMS, ensuring accurate data, effective processes and seamless information flow throughout the admissions journey and into the school's internal systems.

• Build and maintain relationships with embassies, multinational companies, relocation agencies, expat networks, feeder schools, and other strategic partners.
• Act as the school's OpenApply and iSAMS champion, ensuring accurate and up‑to‑date admissions and student information and effective system workflows.
• Produce and monitor admissions dashboards and KPIs, including enquiries, applications, conversion rates, pipeline status, lead sources, and enrolments.
• Coordinate interviews, assessments, and appointments with academic, psychology, and admissions teams, ensuring applicants move efficiently through the admissions process.
• Support Open Days, admissions events, and recruitment activities, working closely with the wider school team to ensure a seamless transition from prospective to enrolled family.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE:

• A strong commercial and sales mindset, with genuine motivation to generate leads, convert opportunities and achieve enrolment targets.
• A highly proactive, energetic and persistent approach, with a strong sense of urgency and ownership.
• Demonstrated ability to prospect, build relationships and develop new business opportunities.
• Excellent follow‑up skills and the ability to consistently progress leads and opportunities.
• Strong communication and influencing skills, with confidence presenting and selling a premium educational proposition.
• Fluency in English and Spanish, with the confidence to conduct meetings and school tours with international families.
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to quickly build trust with families from different cultures and backgrounds.
