About us
AdmissionPrep is a high-performance coaching company helping students take control of their post-secondary journey. We combine admissions expertise, academic skill development, and personalized mentorship to give students a competitive edge. We are looking for a Student Success Specialist for a joint role across our Student Success and Growth teams: part of your week is making sure every student who reaches us feels looked after, and part is planning and filming short-form video that educates and inspires students and families.

- Part-time employee position, 12 to 25 hours per week, with potential to scale hours during peak seasons.
- Pay: $20 to $25 per hour, depending on experience.
- Hours: student support is predominantly weekends. Content work follows a weekday cadence: filming, organizing, and uploading early in the week, scripting and planning later in the week.
