The role will initially focus mainly on Singapore and Malaysia. Your work will directly support our Education Counselors by making sure they have accurate, up-to-date and well-organized information when meeting prospective students.
This is primarily a research and documentation role, not a student counseling or sales position.

Maintain accurate and organized education databases using Excel and Google Sheets.
Record sources and keep important information updated.
Research specific information requested by Education Counselors before student meetings.
Compare universities and programs and summarize important differences clearly.
Use AI tools to improve research efficiency while independently verifying important information.
Identify unclear or conflicting information rather than guessing.
Support research for additional study-abroad destinations as Elevate expands.
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification.
Fresh graduates and candidates with 0–2 years of experience are welcome.
Strong English reading and good English writing skills.
Very good internet and website research skills.

Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
Able to organize large amounts of information clearly.
Good analytical and comparison skills.
Able to identify reliable versus unreliable information sources.
Patient and persistent when information is difficult to find.
Able to work independently without repeated reminders.
Previous experience in international education is an advantage but not required.
This role is particularly suitable for someone who enjoys researching, likes working with information, is good with computers, pays attention to small details, enjoys organizing data and likes finding the correct answer.
You do not need to be highly extroverted or sales-oriented.
Performance will primarily be measured by:
Research Accuracy • Information Completeness • Documentation Quality • Data Organization • Update Reliability • Turnaround Time
Accuracy and usefulness are more important than simply researching a large number of universities.
We are looking for candidates who are genuinely interested in committing to the role for at least 12 months.
Employees who demonstrate excellent performance and readiness may later have opportunities to develop into areas such as Education Counseling, Student Services, Study Abroad Partnerships or Global Education.
Career movement depends on performance, capability, available positions and company requirements.
