Director Of Hospital Admissions Jobs in Decatur, GA

As an assistant director of international admission (ADA), you will travel the world to build meaningful relationships with remarkable students, families, educators, and counselors - and show them how SCAD is the ultimate destination to launch the futures and careers of their dreams. You will represent the No. 1 university in the Americas and Europe to prospective students throughout an assigned region from strategically identified public, private, and boarding schools. You will deliver engaging presentations in high school classrooms and at information sessions, college fairs, conferences, and other recruitment events to field questions about SCAD offerings.

ADAs review and evaluate application files to ensure completeness and adherence to admission requirements. Through proactive outreach, you will connect with prospective students in your assigned area via phone calls, virtual meetings, email, and other channels to encourage them to visit SCAD and begin the application process. During one-on-ones with prospective students and their families, you will get to know them, their interests, and their aspirations to determine the right fit and to help them map out the beginning of their SCAD journey, from the application process to on-ground visitation.

You will record what you learn in Salesforce and other record management software/processes to keep their momentum strong. Excellent communication and strong sales skills are a must, and you will use those skills to develop and nurture relationships during your travels. Understanding FERPA regulations is key. Communication extends to the educators guiding these students, too. You will invite educators to attend SCAD Educator Weekend and serve as a host, representing the university with positivity, confidence, and charisma.

As part of an extraordinary team of SCADvocates, you will tag in on other recruitment efforts, award ceremonies for scholarship winners, tours, staff programs, and trainings. You will help maintain the recruitment master calendar through prompt, detailed, and accurate input of data, and you'll flag successes and challenges of recruitment initiatives to spark strategic innovation for future planning. You will also leverage alumni and parent ambassadors to highlight the lifelong perks of being a SCAD Bee. Among other activities, you will serve as a vital contact for prospective students as they advance in their journey to SCAD, helping admitted and deposit-paid students take their next steps.

As a successful candidate, you're someone who thrives on helping others - and who understands the power of strategic communication and strong partnerships. You stay in-the-know, always up to date on what's happening at SCAD, and you enjoy connecting with people from all backgrounds. You're detail-oriented and can pinpoint prospective students' needs with precision and positivity. You're skilled at working independently to meet daily and weekly goals by setting clear expectations for yourself, managing your time well, and exceeding your own high standards.

You have exceptional interpersonal communication skills, are adept at delivering engaging presentations with confidence, and are comfortable giving leadership regular feedback on recruitment initiatives. You prioritize tasks effectively and have a passion for the arts and design education. You are genuinely enthusiastic about promoting SCAD's mission and values.
