Job description

Crimson Education is the world’s leading college admissions consulting firm, with over 1,490 Ivy League offers and 2,410 to the US Top 15. We help ambitious students gain admission to the world’s top universities through expert-led guidance and proven, data‑driven strategies. Crimson students are 7x more likely to get into the Ivy League than their peers. We were recently featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.

Crimson is the only college admissions consultancy that brings together:

• Former Ivy League and Top 20 admissions officers to rigorously review and refine applications
• Professors and PhD teaching fellows from leading universities to guide students through original, independent research — with pathways to selective peer‑reviewed publication or conference presentation
• Past ISEF winners and judges who coach students to compete for state, national, and international science fair awards
• Capstone project mentors who help students design and scale leadership initiatives with real‑world impact, measurable outcomes, and credible external validation

We’re backed by leading VC firms, including Tiger Global, Heal Partners, IceHouse Ventures, and Movac, and recently closed a USD $40M Series D funding round at a USD $640M valuation. We now operate across 21 markets worldwide, including the US, Canada, UK, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand.

Join us as we aim to unlock our students’ potential, guiding them through a transformative process that leads to admission into top US and UK private schools and universities.
