You will manage a pipeline of leads with energy and purpose, providing accurate, helpful information about courses, fees, and funding, and ensuring every prospective student feels supported throughout their application journey.
If you are someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves building rapport with people, and is motivated by hitting — and exceeding — targets, this role could be a brilliant fit.

Experience & Skills
* Proven experience in a fast-paced sales environment, with a strong track record of achieving and exceeding KPIs

About You
You are a natural communicator who genuinely enjoys helping people make important decisions. You understand that for many prospective students, choosing a course is a significant, sometimes life-changing step — and you take that responsibility seriously. You are target-driven without being pushy, consultative in your approach, and proud of the relationships you build along the way.
You are well-organised, self-disciplined, and thrive when given the autonomy to manage your own pipeline and performance.

* Director of Marketing & Student Recruitment
* Fellow Student Recruitment Advisors
* Marketing Manager and specialists across Multimedia, Design, Editorial, and SEO & Web
* University Partner marketing and recruitment stakeholders, academics, and subject matter experts
You will be part of a supportive team that genuinely pulls together to deliver great results for students and partners alike.
Why Join OES?
* Make a real difference — you will be the reason many students take their first step towards transforming their future through education
* A role with variety — no two days are the same, and there is always something new to learn
* Supportive, team-focused culture — we celebrate wins together and back each other when things get tough
