Our mission
Empowering students to unlock their potential through personalised education.
What this role is responsible for
New Zealand-based Edutech company Crimson Education was founded in 2013 from the idea that through personalised education, we can transform students into the world leaders of tomorrow. Since then, we have rapidly grown a mission-driven team who are dedicated to building the education system for the 22nd century. Our network includes 2,400 tutors and consultants worldwide who work with over 20,000 students.
Our tech platform connects tutors and mentors to high school students aiming to achieve admission and scholarships to top universities in the US, Canada, UK and beyond.
Working closely with and reporting to a Team Leader, Strategy Consultants are exemplars of Crimson Education’s philosophy who are dedicated to making a difference in students’ lives, helping bridge gaps between present and future goals by personalising blueprints that will become the basis of all academic, extracurricular and personal development.
Your task as a Strategy Consultant is to work closely with students: expertly creating and tracking their academic roadmap, offering a perspective into Canadian education, and mentoring them throughout the application process. Regarding application work, Strategy Consultants assist students in the development of the overarching plan for the student’s application essays and personal statement. Students will have additional support from Application Consultants who will support students in the brainstorming, drafting and revising process.
With each case that one oversees in this role, a Strategy Consultant is entrusted with the highest level of autonomy and accountability. Strategy Consultants are thus held to the highest standards of integrity; maintain utmost responsibility in managing students’ goals and plans; and contribute to the professional development of the self and of the team.
This position is a Part Time role which may grow into a Full Time role in 2021 depending on individual performance, feedback and market demand.
