Job description

egelloC is a fast-growing education coaching company helping students and families successfully navigate the college admissions process.

Our mission is simple: to make high-level college admissions strategy more accessible, personalized, and impactful for students from all backgrounds.

We work closely with families to provide long-term academic, extracurricular, and admissions guidance for highly competitive universities across the United States, with a strong focus on the University of California (UC) system, California State Universities (CSUs), and Top 100 U.S. colleges and universities.

Today, egelloC supports students nationwide through a fully remote global team made up of coaches, strategists, editors, client success professionals, and operations specialists. We take pride in fostering a collaborative, results-driven culture where every team member plays a crucial role in helping students maximize their opportunities and confidently pursue their future.

If you would like to learn more about our company culture, student success stories, and team presence, we encourage you to explore our TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and website.

About the role

We are looking for a strategic, highly organized, and relationship-driven Student Success Coach to guide students and families through one of the most important journeys of their lives.

This is not a traditional administrative counseling role. Our coaches act as strategic partners for families, helping students build competitive profiles, stay accountable, navigate admissions milestones, and position themselves successfully for highly selective universities.

We highly value candidates with previous experience as an Independent Educational Consultant (IEC) who have independently guided students through the complete college admissions process, from long-term academic planning to final application submission.

You will become the primary point of contact for a caseload of students and families while collaborating closely with our Client Success and Essay Editing teams, allowing you to focus on high-level coaching and admissions strategy rather than logistics or administrative coordination.

We are specifically looking for candidates who understand both:

• the nuances of the UC/CSU systems and UC PIQ strategy.
• the broader Top 100 admissions landscape.

What You’ll Own

Individualized Coaching & Accountability

Guide students and families through academic planning, extracurricular development, testing strategy, and application timelines through regular meetings and ongoing communication.

Strategic Admissions Planning

Help students build competitive long-term profiles aligned with their academic interests, intended majors, and target universities.

UC & Common App Positioning

Advise students on how to strategically position their stories, achievements, activities, and essays across both the UC application system and the Common App.

Parent Communication & Guidance

Serve as a trusted and professional advisor for families by providing transparency, reassurance, accountability, and strategic direction throughout the admissions journey.

Student Progress & Intervention

Proactively monitor student progress, identify gaps or missed milestones early, and intervene strategically to keep students on track.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner closely with Essay Editing, Client Success, and internal leadership teams to ensure a seamless and high-quality student experience.

Who Thrives Here

Admissions Expertise

• 5+ years of college admissions coaching, counseling, or mentoring experience required.
• Experience as an Independent Educational Consultant (IEC) and/or Public High School College Counselor is strongly preferred.
• Experience independently managing the full college admissions counseling process, including academic planning, extracurricular and activities planning, major and college selection, application strategy, and college application advising from start to finish.
• Familiarity with UC and CSU admissions systems, including PIQs and admissions positioning.
• Strong understanding of Top 100 U.S. universities and admissions strategy.

Strategic Thinkers

You understand that successful admissions outcomes are built through long-term positioning, storytelling, accountability, and execution.

Organized Operators

You can confidently manage multiple students and families while maintaining high-quality communication and strategic oversight.

You are comfortable leading Zoom meetings, delivering feedback, recording video feedback, and building trust with both students and parents.

You thrive in feedback-heavy environments and enjoy collaborating cross-functionally with other high-performing team members.

Tech-Comfortable Professionals

You move comfortably between Zoom, Google Drive, Slack, Calendly, Loom, and modern AI-powered systems and tools.
