Department: Global Student Success Team
Location: Yangon
Employment Type: Full-Time
Compensation: Negotiable Salary + Performance-Based Incentives
Elevate Education is a fast-growing international education company helping Myanmar students access quality education opportunities abroad.
Our mission is to help students see a bigger future and feel closer to it.
We guide students and families from uncertainty to clarity—helping them understand their options, choose the right education pathway and confidently take the next step toward their future.
As we continue to grow, we are expanding our Global Student Success Team and looking for ambitious people who are exceptional at meeting people, building trust, developing clients and achieving results.
You won’t simply wait for students to be assigned to you.
As an Education Counselor, you will:
Find Prospective Students → Build Relationships → Counsel Students & Parents → Recommend the Right Study Options → Follow Up → Convert → Enroll
Elevate will provide prospective students through our marketing, school partnerships, events and other channels. At the same time, you will be expected to actively develop your own student pipeline through referrals, networking, outreach, events and other appropriate channels.
If you have succeeded in sales, client acquisition, business development, student recruitment, education counseling or another target-driven client-facing career, we want to hear from you.
Previous study-abroad experience is an advantage, but not essential. Elevate provides comprehensive training in study-abroad counseling and university knowledge.
Professionally counsel students and parents, both face-to-face and online, about international study opportunities.
Understand each student’s academic background, interests, career goals, budget and preferences and recommend suitable universities and programs.
Provide accurate information about programs, admission requirements, tuition fees, scholarships, intakes and application procedures.
Manage, follow up and convert prospective students generated through Elevate’s marketing, school partnerships, events and other channels.
Actively identify and develop your own prospective students instead of relying only on company-generated leads.
Build your own student pipeline through referrals, networking, outreach, events, personal/professional connections and other approved channels.
Build long-term relationships with students and parents and maintain disciplined follow-up throughout their decision-making journey.
Take ownership of your pipeline from prospect and counseling through application and successful enrollment.
Achieve assigned individual KPIs and enrollment targets, including self-generated leads, counseling, applications, conversion and enrollments.
Maintain accurate student, pipeline and follow-up records in company systems.
Work closely with Student Services, Marketing, School Partnerships and other teams to deliver a strong student experience.
Continuously develop knowledge of universities, programs, scholarships and international education opportunities.
Our counselors meet students across Myanmar—not only at our Yangon office.
You will be expected to participate in:
Elevate’s Annual Education Fairs
University fairs and exhibitions
Workshops and seminars
School visits and school events
City Counseling Sessions and city events
Other student recruitment and university activities
These activities may take place in Yangon, Mandalay, Taunggyi, Naypyitaw, Mawlamyine, Pyay and other cities across Myanmar.
Some activities may take place on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays, and business trips may require several days of travel.
Willingness to travel and participate in weekend activities when required is an essential part of this role.
Study-abroad counseling requires extensive professional and product knowledge. Successful candidates will receive structured training from Elevate covering:
Partner universities and programs
Admission requirements and application processes
Tuition fees and scholarships
University and program comparison
Student needs assessment and counseling
Application and student-support processes
Professional counseling and conversion techniques
Counselors are required to complete company training and pass required written and oral university/product-knowledge assessments, practical exercises and counseling assessments.
We invest significantly in developing people who demonstrate the ability and commitment to succeed.
Candidates with stronger relevant experience and a proven track record may be considered directly for the Senior Education Counselor – Study Abroad level.
Senior candidates are expected to demonstrate:
Strong performance in student recruitment, counseling, B2C sales, client acquisition or business development.
Consistent achievement of individual targets/KPIs.
Proven ability to independently generate and develop clients.
Strong counseling, relationship-management and conversion capability.
Ability to independently manage a substantial student pipeline.
Ability to handle complex student and parent situations.
Ability to work with limited supervision and support junior team members.
Position level will be determined based on demonstrated capability and performance—not simply years of experience.
We are particularly interested in candidates with backgrounds in:
Sales | Business Development | Client Acquisition | Student Recruitment | Education Counseling | Customer Relationship Management
Candidates should have:
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification.
Relevant experience in a target-driven, client-facing role.
Demonstrated ability to find and develop new clients/customers, not only handle incoming inquiries.
Experience working toward individual sales, revenue, enrollment or other measurable KPIs.
Strong communication, presentation and interpersonal skills.
Confidence in meeting, advising and building relationships with students and parents.
Strong persuasion, negotiation and follow-up skills.
Proactive, self-motivated and results-oriented mindset.
Resilience and persistence when prospective clients say no, delay decisions or require long-term follow-up.
Strong learning ability and willingness to master detailed university and program information.
Ability to manage multiple prospects, follow-ups and priorities systematically.
Willingness to travel domestically and work selected weekends/public holidays when required.
Ability to work collaboratively with Student Services, Marketing, School Partnerships and other departments.
Commitment to maintaining accurate student and pipeline records.
Willingness to complete Elevate’s required training, written/oral assessments and practical counseling assessments.
Previous study-abroad or international education experience is an advantage, but not essential.
Candidates from outside the education industry are strongly encouraged to apply if they have previously worked in a role where they had to find clients, build their own pipeline, maintain relationships, achieve targets and convert opportunities into results.
For Senior Education Counselor consideration, candidates should demonstrate stronger relevant experience, consistent KPI achievement, independent client development, strong conversion ability and the capability to support junior team members.
