Account Manager Student Advisor

Do you want to work with international studies and make a real difference?

In this role, you will help Scandinavian students take the step out into the world. You guide, inspire, and match prospective students with programs at universities, colleges, and language schools that STUDIN represents.

You are involved from an initial curious question until the student is in place at their school – with admission completed and all practical details resolved.

This is a role where advising, sales, and administration are equally crucial parts for success.

About the role

As an Account Manager – Student Advisor, you are responsible for your own student portfolio and manage your cases independently throughout the entire process.

You have daily contact with young people and young adults – and in some cases their parents – via phone, digital meetings, email, and personal meetings.

This is not routine work with ready-made templates to rely on. Each student is unique. You need to quickly familiarize yourself with new educations, destinations, and regulations, seek information when needed, and make well-founded decisions in dialogue with the student.

Your main areas of responsibility

• Guide and match students with the right education and destination
• Actively promote options and help the student make decisions
• Read, screen, and understand the student's motivations, prerequisites, and goals
• Manage and follow up on your student portfolio continuously
• Ensure that applications, documents, and deadlines are handled correctly
• Work structured with follow-up and conversion
• Collaborate with our partner schools around the world

You need to enjoy having many parallel processes running simultaneously – and be able to maintain calm and structure even when the student is stressed about important decisions. Your confidence and reassuring manner are crucial.

You will also

• Hold presentations at high schools and colleges throughout Sweden
• Plan, conduct, and participate in fairs, events, and workshops
• Represent STUDIN in meetings with collaboration partners
• Visit our universities and language schools abroad

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for you who are well-rounded, well-traveled, and genuinely interested in the world. You easily absorb new information and enjoy seeking knowledge yourself when needed.

Background

• Academic degree (at least Bachelor's)
• Have personally studied abroad for at least one semester

• 
  

International experience – studies, work, internships, language courses, or longer stays abroad – is highly meritorious.
