Managing Director
College Solutions seeks an ambitious, detail-oriented individual to join our staff as a Managing Director. The Managing Director position is two-pronged: business development and private college counseling.
Our company has been fortunate to earn and maintain a reputable brand, and as such, we are ready to grow. The Managing Director's role is expected to help create and represent College Solutions in his/her/their respective community. Business development tasks will include identifying local strategic partners, joining a business networking group, and presenting at local events to generate sales traction.
Secondly, we are in search of a managing director with the ability to connect with students and families, be up on the latest trends in college admissions, and encourage students through the ups and downs of the admissions process.
In sum, we are searching for someone who can think strategically and empathetically — someone who can envision the big and small picture simultaneously.
College Solutions is an educational counseling firm that helps candidates through the American college application and financial aid processes. We work with applicants worldwide to ensure they have the highest degree of success in finding the right fit when applying to colleges and universities. School selection, resume review, essay editing/strategic feedback, mock interviewing, and recommendation coaching are just a few of our basic services.
