About The Admissions Coordinator (AC) Role

If speaking with families, uncovering their student's needs, sharing the magic of our programming, and getting them to the next step of the admissions process sounds like something you would excel at, you may be a great fit as an Admissions Coordinator.

We are hiring an experienced sales professional who will thrive hitting their key performance metrics (KPIS) all while providing every family with the Fusion "celebrity experience", which means going above and beyond to make the family feel understood, heard, and that there is hope for their child. Admissions Coordinators are true Fusion ambassadors. Admissions Coordinators communicate with great clarity and empathy. They bond with our families and staff. They know their audience and tend to impress. They hit targets and touch hearts. No matter where you are in your career, you appreciate the fact that one size doesn't fit all students in education.

You will help guide each family through the front end of the admissions process. Every lead is welcomed with warmth. You will seek to build a connection with each family while promoting our unique 1:1 education model. Through thoughtful engagement, you will discover what key motivators are making a family seek Fusion’s support and if they are an overall Fusion fit academically, socially, emotionally, and financially.

You will be responsible for a strong hand-off to our campus leaders so the family can continue the journey to enrollment.

This role is managed on performance and metrics. It requires strong skills in sales and customer service. It also requires a great deal of empathy and compassion. We often work with families in crisis who need support for their child desperately. We are looking for someone who is extremely motivated by numbers, data, and exceeding student enrollment and revenue goals. The ideal candidate is open to change, a fast-paced work environment, and at times, ambiguity in the role. You will report to the Manager of Admissions Success.
