Are you an experienced college admissions officer interested in working directly with a diverse group of families and having a positive influence on the futures of students from around the country? Are you seeking a flexible, remote position? If so, Bright Horizons College Coach might be a great fit for you. We’ve been assisting families in achieving their education goals for more than 20 years. Our child care, educational advising, and tuition assistance services help working families thrive. We are intentional about diversity and inclusion, embracing the individuality of each student, family member, and employee. Join us to do important work at a company named 20 times as one of FORTUNE’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.”

With a strong service mission, commitment to excellence, and focus on ethical guidance, we work with tens of thousands of families who receive our services for free through their employer-sponsored benefit and hundreds more via our more traditional independent consulting service. In both cases, we interact directly with students and parents in person, over the phone, and via video conference. We have a clear vision at Bright Horizons: to be the place where a diverse, talented mix of people can come together to do their best work. As we grow in 2023, we continue to prioritize the diversification of our team, a goal that comes from the top down thanks to our Bright Horizons leaders who have been vocal supporters of social justice and equity movements.

At the heart of Bright Horizons College Coach is a phenomenal group of knowledgeable, hardworking, team-oriented educators with experience at a wide range of undergraduate institutions. Our team is made up of former admissions and financial aid officers who are dedicated to supporting every kind of student as they seek their best-fit colleges. Flexibility plays a key role at Bright Horizons College Coach, not just in our interactions with our clients and one another, but in the way we do our jobs on a day-to-day basis. We work remotely and respect one another’s ability to do high-quality work from home—yet we also share in a deep sense of community and camaraderie. We engage with one another on a daily basis and are a tight-knit crew that loves to laugh together as much as we love to work together. If you enjoy the independence of remote work yet enjoy the human connection of being in an office, we think you’ll appreciate the balance we strike.
