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.
