Role Overview

We are looking for an Academic Counsellor to manage and convert prospective student enquiries from international markets.

The ideal candidate will be confident speaking with senior professionals and international prospects, highly articulate in English, commercially aware, and capable of conducting structured counselling conversations rather than simply following a sales script.

Key Responsibilities

- Engage with senior professionals, technology leaders, managers, entrepreneurs and other experienced international prospects.
- Follow up systematically with prospects throughout the admissions cycle.
- Maintain accurate records of prospect interactions, follow-ups and application status in the CRM.
- Manage the complete counselling journey from initial enquiry through application and enrolment.
- Handle objections professionally and provide clear, fact-based responses.
- Coordinate with the admissions and academic teams when prospects require additional information or clarification.
- Meet agreed enrolment and conversion targets while maintaining a high-quality candidate experience.
- Represent Heisenberg Institute professionally in every interaction.

Required Experience

- 2–3 years of relevant experience in academic counselling, education consulting, admissions, student recruitment, professional education sales or a closely related role.
- Experience handling international students or international prospects is strongly preferred.
- Experience counselling working professionals or postgraduate/professional learners is an advantage.

- Comfortable speaking with international professionals.
