About Crimson

Crimson Education is the world’s leading college admissions consulting firm, with over 1,490 Ivy League offers and 2,410 to the US Top 15. We help ambitious students gain admission to the world’s top universities through expert-led guidance and proven, data-driven strategies. Crimson students are 7x more likely to get into the Ivy League than their peers. We were recently featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.

We’re the only college admissions consultancy that brings together:

• Former Ivy League and Top 20 admissions officers to rigorously review and refine applications

• Professors and PhD teaching fellows from leading universities to guide students through original, independent research — with pathways to selective peer-reviewed publication or conference presentation

• Past ISEF winners and judges who coach students to compete for state, national, and international science fair awards

• Capstone project mentors who help students design and scale leadership initiatives with real-world impact, measurable outcomes, and credible external validation

The Role

This is a full-time position, based in India

• Run consultative discovery calls and academic assessments to uncover a family's goals, concerns and decision drivers

• Present and sell Crimson programs with confidence, tailoring the proposal to each student and handling objections with skill

• Negotiate and close high-value deals with families, hitting and exceeding monthly and quarterly revenue targets

• Build and maintain strong relationships with families, keeping the pipeline healthy and the CRM accurate

• Sharpen your pitch continuously through call reviews, coaching and market and product knowledge

• Come up with creative new ways to reach and engage families

• Build partnerships with schools, businesses, non-profits and other organizations that generate qualified leads

• Represent Crimson at school talks, careers expos and Crimson seminars, turning audiences into opportunities

• Strong storytelling and public speaking skills, and the ability to persuade and build trust with parents and students

• Resilience, curiosity and a creative approach to prospecting and closing

Experience that would be useful in this role:

• CRM handling and disciplined pipeline management

• Fluency in English and one or two Indian languages

• Experience in education, edtech or admissions, or an understanding of the global undergraduate application process (particularly US and UK), is a plus but not essential
