We are looking for a driven and eager-to-learn Education Counsellor to join our UAE Study Abroad vertical. This role is designed for freshers or candidates with up to 0.6 years of experience who want to build a career in study abroad counselling. You'll be trained on UAE admissions, counselling, and conversion processes from day one, and given real ownership of student journeys early — a rare chance to learn the business hands-on rather than sit on the sidelines. If you're a strong communicator who wants a career where your effort and results are visible fast, this is where you start.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Support and guide students through the journey from first enquiry to enrollment, under the mentorship of senior counsellors.
• Work towards monthly targets for applications, deposits, and visa approvals as you build confidence in the process.
• Respond quickly to inbound leads and follow up consistently to keep students engaged and moving forward.
• Learn and apply UAE course mapping so you can give students clear, accurate recommendations.
• Practice handling common student objections and questions, building the skills to close applications and deposits faster over time.
• Maintain accurate documentation and help ensure SOPs and submissions are timely and error-free.
• Get hands-on with funnel metrics — learn to read the numbers, spot drop-offs, and understand what drives conversions.
• Coordinate with university and partner teams to keep applications moving smoothly.
• Share your observations on lead quality and campaign response as you build a feel for what works.
• Be part of a growing UAE team from the ground floor, with real opportunity to grow into a senior counselling role.

Your Skills

• Genuine interest in study abroad counselling and helping students make important life decisions.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills — comfortable talking to students and parents daily.
• A natural sales orientation and comfort with being measured on outcomes, not just activity.
• Comfortable with numbers — willing to learn reporting and basic funnel analysis.
• Self-motivated and able to take ownership quickly, even while still learning the ropes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree (any stream); Master's is a plus but not required.
• Prior study abroad or EdTech experience is necessary.
• Any prior internship, part-time, or academic exposure to counselling, sales, or international education is a bonus, not a requirement.

Experience Required

• 0 to 0.6 years of experience — freshers are strongly encouraged to apply.

Other Job Details

• Work Timings: 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM
• Work Mode: Remote
• Structured onboarding and training on UAE admissions, counselling, and conversion processes.
