Part Time Remote Process Engineer Jobs in Madison, WI

A part-time college counselor works with students and families through the college search and admissions process. This person must have impeccable communication skills, be able to connect with both high school students and their parents and be incredibly knowledgeable about colleges and the admissions process. The Counselor will also support other college counselors and our essay coaches in their work with students.

The position reports to the Director of Admissions Counseling. Because we work mostly with high school students and their parents, we tend to work in the later afternoons, evenings, and weekends. There is some flexibility in the schedule, as long as it is coordinated with families and the team. The position will evolve over time as the ideal candidate will take our current practices and expand and enhance them.

Families may sign up to do hourly work with a counselor or may sign up for our comprehensive program, which does not count hours.
