Blue Cliff College is looking for a driven, student-focused Admissions Representative to join our team. In this role, you will be the first point of contact for prospective students — guiding them through a life-changing decision with integrity, professionalism, and genuine care for their success. If you thrive in a consultative, high-energy environment and want your work to make a real difference in people's lives, this opportunity is for you.

This is a lead-level position. You will be expected to achieve and sustain a high level of performance across both quantitative and qualitative metrics, operating fully within college-approved processes and in compliance with all applicable federal and state regulations, accrediting standards, and institutional policies.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct in-depth interviews with prospective students to evaluate their needs, interests, and qualifications, and provide clear, factual information to help them make informed decisions about attending the college.
• Present program offerings and tuition information in an accurate and ethical manner, serving as a knowledgeable advocate for each prospective student.
• Consistently meet and exceed performance goals across a suite of metrics, including enrollments, starts, conversion rate, show rate, schedule adherence, and compliance benchmarks.
• Guide students through every stage of the admissions process — from scheduling the initial appointment and conducting the interview, to processing the enrollment, setting expectations, facilitating new student orientation, and supporting the start of class.
• Ensure all admissions activities are conducted in full compliance with federal and state regulations, college policies and procedures, and all accrediting body requirements.
• Collaborate with Financial Aid and other departments to deliver a seamless, high-quality experience for every student.
• Maintain proactive, ongoing communication with enrolled students throughout their program of study to support retention and graduation outcomes.
• Network off-campus to promote the college, develop personally sourced inquiries, and represent the institution at Open House events and other community engagement activities.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Education & Experience

• Associate degree or equivalent combination of education and related experience (preferred).
• 3–4 years of experience in college admissions, financial aid, high school counseling, or sales of intangible products (preferred).
• Minimum of 2 years in consultative or relationship-based sales (required).

Skills & Competencies

• Strong interpersonal communication skills, including excellent telephone and customer service skills.
• Effective time management with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment.
• Solid problem-solving skills and sound professional judgment.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a team.
• Knowledge of basic office policies, procedures, and college operations.
• Proficiency with college software systems and standard office tools.
• Ability to work a flexible schedule, including some evenings and weekends.
• Ability to spend a considerable amount of time standing, walking, and moving about campus.
