Job description

Empowerly (Empowerly.com) is an education technology company that personalizes college and career counseling with a mission to empower students to become the most successful version of themselves. From college preparation, landing internships, and beyond, we support students in achieving their academic goals.
 
We provide data-driven education technology, start up and research internship programs, and personalized counseling led by former university Admission Officers and experienced College counselors.

Each student is holistically evaluated through our Empowerly Score™ — the only predictive technology that can also quantify subjective material. Each student is offered a three-pronged approach to evaluate academics, essays, and extracurricular activities – providing them a 360-degree view of how to be competitive against other applicants.
 
Empowerly raised $30 million from investors, including Goodwater Capital, Conductive Ventures, FJ Labs, Scrum Ventures, Translink Capital, Azure Capital Partners, and Spero Ventures.

  • Capable of working independently in a virtual environment– including the ability to self-supervise quality and routine 72 hour deadlines
