The Role in Brief:

Student Re-Enrollment Advisor, Senior Associate

The Student Re-Enrollment Advisor supports previously enrolled students through EAB's re-enrollment service. The Advisor manages proactive outreach, develops clear re-enrollment plans with students, helps identify and navigate barriers, and coordinates with partner institutions to move students from initial engagement through successful re-enrollment.

This is not a traditional academic advising role. Advisors do not make academic, financial aid, or institutional decisions on behalf of partner institutions. Instead, they provide structured, student-centered guidance, sustained follow-up, and coordinated support within defined playbooks and escalation paths. Success is measured through student engagement, completion of re-enrollment milestones, effective barrier navigation and institutional coordination, data quality, and ultimately student re-enrollment outcomes.

This role offers the opportunity to work on a high-visibility service focused on enrollment recovery and student re-engagement. The Advisor will work closely with the Program Manager for Student Re-Enrollment and VP of Student Success & Analytics while serving as a consistent point of support for students and coordinating closely with partner institutions.

The Advisor will directly influence student outcomes while helping EAB strengthen and scale a repeatable, revenue-linked service model. Student conversations, campaign performance, and frontline insights from this role will directly inform how EAB improves its re-enrollment strategy, technology, partner processes, and service model as the program expands.

This position may be based in Washington D.C.; Richmond, VA; or is open to remote employment within the continental United States.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Manage an assigned caseload of previously enrolled studentsacross five to eight partner institutions, adapting support to each institution's processes, policies, timelines, escalation pathways, and student populations while maintaining proactive follow-up through a documented outcome or disposition.

• Conduct high-volume student outreach and engagement throughphone, email, SMS, and scheduled Zoom appointments, using structured multi-channel campaigns and varied outreach times based on program needs.
• Build rapport with students and understand their goals, motivations, circumstances, and readiness to return using defined intake and engagement frameworks.
• Develop clear re-enrollment action plans with engaged students, identifying next steps, responsible parties, key deadlines, and anticipated barriers.
• Help students navigate common barriers, including outstanding balances, financial aid requirements, registration holds, readmission processes, academic standing, uncertainty about returning, and competing work or family responsibilities.
• Provide clear process guidance, reminders, encouragement, and accountability while maintaining appropriate role boundaries; execute context-rich handoffs to appropriate partner offices andfollow through when student progress stalls.
• Monitor student progress across re-enrollment milestones and use engagement history, deadlines, and available student data toprioritize outreach and determine the appropriate level of support.
• Maintain accurate, consistent documentation of student interactions, barriers, commitments, handoffs, outcomes, and follow-up actions in EAB's Navigate360 CRM and outreach tools.
• Identify recurring student barriers and institutional process breakdowns and translate frontline observations and program data intoactionable insights and recommendationsfor the Program Manager and partner institutions.
• Collaborate with internal EAB teams and partner staff on campaign execution, escalations, process refinement, and program evaluation; provide feedback on Navigate360, outreach automation, AI-enabled engagement tools, messaging, workflows, and knowledge resources to improve effectiveness and the student experience.
• Protect student information, follow applicable privacy requirements and EAB standards, and appropriately elevate sensitive, urgent, or out-of-scope student needs.
