Student Enrollment Specialist, Unbound Academy (Remote) - $40,000/year USD
Success in this position depends on your ability to establish trust with parents within the opening moments of a call. The role is designed for someone who thrives on outreach, maintains disciplined follow-up, and can clearly articulate an innovative learning model without depending on scripted language. If phone-based communication or working toward measurable performance targets does not appeal to you, this opportunity is unlikely to be a good match. Unbound Academy operates as a virtual, tuition-free public charter school that delivers education through a distinctive model. Core academics are completed in a condensed timeframe with AI-enhanced learning support, allowing students to dedicate the remainder of their day to hands-on projects and enrichment activities that build practical skills. You will serve as the primary human connection for families considering this educational path. Your week will include rapid responses to new inquiries, facilitating families through each stage of the admissions journey, and converting early interest into completed enrollment. You will also attend and lead local community events to expand awareness and generate prospective student leads. During periods of lower enrollment activity, you will support operational functions while remaining prepared for the next enrollment cycle. If you are looking for a position where your communication discipline, reliability, and personal ownership directly shape enrollment outcomes, we would like to hear from you. What You Will Be Doing
- Reaching out to new inbound inquiries within a 24-hour window and beginning the admissions dialogue over the phone
- Communicating Unbound Academy's virtual learning structure and enrollment procedures in straightforward, accessible terms
- Maintaining structured follow-up to advance families from initial inquiry through application completion to enrollment
- Recording all engagement details in a CRM, including precise notes, next actions, and pipeline status

What You Won’t Be Doing
- Allowing inbound inquiries to sit unaddressed while you focus on administrative tasks
- Reading from rigid scripts or functioning in a high-volume call center environment
- Participating in events as a passive observer rather than actively presenting and capturing leads
- Devoting most of your time to back-office duties during active enrollment periods
