Admissions Representative

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.

• 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.
