• Follow up consistently with prospects and admitted students through their planned start date.
• Maintain accurate notes, tasks, and pipeline activity in the admissions CRM.
• Work with financial aid, student services, and other staff to help students complete the enrollment process.
• Track your activity and results, identify stalled prospects, and take action to move qualified students forward.
• Represent SAM Tech at recruiting events, school visits, and industry events.

What you bring

• Experience in admissions, student recruiting, consultative sales, or a related role; trade school or career education experience is preferred.
• Strong phone skills and the confidence to start conversations with new people.
• A record of managing leads, following up reliably, and meeting measurable goals.
• Good judgment, accurate recordkeeping, and a student-focused approach.
• The ability to organize your own day and stay productive with limited supervision.
• Comfort learning new software and using a CRM daily.
• An interest in automotive, machining, motorsports, or skilled trades is a plus.
