Job Description:

Ready to build Champlain\'s presence in one of the most competitive college admissions markets in the country? Champlain College is seeking an experienced, results-oriented admissions professional to lead recruitment across two high-priority territories: Massachusetts and the West Coast. The Greater Boston market in particular represents one of the College\'s most significant areas of opportunity, requiring someone who can navigate a competitive landscape of Independent Educational Consultants (IECs), selective secondary schools, and families who expect a sophisticated understanding of the college admissions process.

This role goes beyond entry-level recruitment. Successfully growing Champlain\'s presence in the Greater Boston market calls for strategic relationship-building, established credibility, and the experience to represent the College with confidence in a demanding market.

The Assistant Director will manage the full recruitment cycle for their territories - from building relationships with school counselors and IECs to guiding prospective students and families through the enrollment process - while also helping the broader admissions team explore how emerging AI tools can support recruitment goals.

Stay current on emerging AI tools in higher education admissions and
