About Blue Ocean

Blue Ocean Education Consulting is a selective, founder-led study abroad and university admissions practice based in New Delhi, working with a small number of ambitious families each year on Ivy League and top-tier global university admissions. Our philosophy is simple: we develop the student first, and admissions outcomes follow — every profile we build is unique to the child, not a template. As Blue Ocean expands, we are growing our Growth Team and looking for a College Admission Counselor who specializes in US Undergrad Colleges.

Where This Role Sits

This role owns the second and third, higher-stakes conversations in our client journey — the point where genuine interest turns into a signed family.

Growth Associate – Sales initiates the call and qualifies interest → College Admission Counselor runs the diagnostic & solution call → Client is onboarded and profile-building begins.

Once a Growth Associate – Sales has initiated contact and warmed up a family, the conversation is handed over to you for the diagnostic and solution call. In this call, you identify the child's aspirations and strengths, and then present Blue Ocean's solution — how we will build a distinctive, well-researched profile suited to that child's goals, whether that is an Ivy League school or another top-tier university. You are the voice that turns a curious parent into a committed client.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct diagnostic and solution calls with parents and students who have been passed on from the Growth Associate – Sales, understanding the child's academic strengths, interests, and aspirations.
• Translate that understanding into a clear, credible narrative for parents on how Blue Ocean will build a unique, competitive profile for their child — and why that approach works for Ivy League and other top global universities.
• Field detailed questions on the US undergraduate admissions process — standardized testing, essays, extracurricular strategy, early vs. regular decision, financial aid, and more — with confidence and accuracy.
• Build trust and rapport with HNI families across a call or a short series of calls, addressing concerns and objections with patience and precision.
• Own conversion for your set of leads — converting diagnostic calls into signed clients through clear communication and thoughtful persuasion, not pressure.
• Maintain meticulous records of every conversation, follow-up, and commitment made to a family, and coordinate smoothly with the Sales and Student Success teams.
• Represent Blue Ocean's tone and values on every call: premium, warm, and genuinely invested in the student's development.
• Take up pre-diagnostic calls also, if necessary, which is primarily the first level of contact with families depending on the lead flow

What We're Looking For

• Strong, working knowledge of the US undergraduate admissions process — you should be able to speak to it in detail, not just in outline.
• Excellent spoken English — fluent, articulate, and comfortable adapting register for both students and parents.
• Natural ability to build rapport and trust quickly over a call with people you've never met.
• A genuine gift for persuasion — confident, consultative selling rather than scripted pitching.
• Meticulous and organized, with a habit of following up and following through on every commitment.
• Prior experience in admissions counseling, ed-tech, or a related client-facing advisory role is a strong plus.

Compensation & Logistics

• Compensation: ₹6–8.5 LPA plus incentive based on experience and qualifications.
• Location: New Delhi (Bengali Market office, near Connaught Place).
• Schedule: 6 days a week.
• Joining: Immediate joiners preferred.
