New Zealand-based Edutech company Crimson Education was founded in 2013 from the idea that through personalised education, we can transform students into the world leaders of tomorrow. Since then, we have rapidly grown a mission-driven team that is dedicated to building the education system for the 22nd century. Our network includes 2,400 tutors and consultants worldwide who work with over 20,000 students.
Our tech platform connects tutors and mentors to high school students aiming to achieve admission and scholarships to top universities in the US, Canada, UK, and beyond.
This is a full-time contractor position, based remotely.
Strategy Consultants are exemplars of Crimson Education’s philosophy dedicated to making a difference in students’ lives, helping bridge gaps between present and future goals by personalising blueprints that will become the basis of all academic, extracurricular and personal development.
Your task as a Strategy Consultant will primarily be to work closely with students who are interested in all countries in Europe (except the United Kingdom). This includes admissions knowledge such as students' secondary curriculums (International Baccalaureate, A Levels, National Curriculums, etc). You will work alongside other Crimson tutors, mentors and consultants. Primary client-facing responsibilities include driving progress through long-term roadmaps, offering a perspective into European (excluding the UK) higher education, and mentoring through the candidacy building and application processes.
EU Strategy Consultants are expected to be experts in all European countries (excluding the UK), but primarily in the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Italy, and Ireland.
