The Organization: Merit America The American economy is broken. Today, 53 million working adults–nearly half of the U.S. workforce–do not earn a living wage. These talented workers have few options to advance: college is too long and expensive, full-time boot camp programs don’t offer enough flexibility, and online courses don’t have the structure or support to translate learning into a new career. The result? Talented workers, disproportionately people of color and women, get stuck in low-wage roles with no way to build a better life for themselves and their families. Merit America is a national nonprofit that creates pathways to family-sustaining careers for Americans stuck in low-wage work. Our fast, flexible solutions are built for working adults: We start by analyzing tens of millions of job postings to identify in-demand, high-paying tech careers and then work with industry-recognized partners to train for these roles with part-time programs that combine flexible online learning with best-in-class coaching. Finally, we support our learners in their job search, helping them connect with a broad constellation of local and national employers such as JPMorgan Chase and Infosys to land higher-earning, family-sustaining jobs. Merit America is on a mission to build a scalable pathway for workers to join the middle class through merit, not money. Since our founding in 2018, we’ve generated a projected $1 billion in near-term wage gains for our learners. About the Role: At Merit America, the Admissions Team is responsible for helping to identify and prepare applicants for life-changing careers. We are seeking an Admissions Advisor who will be integral to our ability to serve twice as many learners in 2025.

This role is indispensable in selecting thousands of learners from across the country to participate in our rigorous training program, which offers life-changing career opportunities. The Advisor role has three main functional areas: Applicant Communication, Applicant Operations, and Event Execution. These functional areas directly contribute to the applicant conversion rate and ensure a phenomenal applicant experience. The Admissions Advisor will play a key role in supporting Merit America's scale, directly ensuring the organization’s ability to serve 10,000 learners annually. This is an ideal role for those seeking to make a meaningful direct impact on the lives of individuals facing systemic barriers and to help build a fast-growing nonprofit startup.

By managing these tasks efficiently, advisors ensure that the admissions process runs smoothly and that all applicants receive the support they need to progress through each stage. Their attention to detail and commitment to maintaining up-to-date records are vital in keeping our operations streamlined and effective. This operational excellence is essential for internal efficiency and providing a seamless experience for applicants, further enhancing our conversion rates. Responsibilities - - Application Management: - Facilitate application reactivations, ensuring applicants can re-engage with their application process smoothly and effectively. - Handle track switch requests both pre-acceptance and post-acceptance, ensuring applicants are placed in the tracks that best suit their needs and qualifications. - Data Management: - Maintain accurate and up-to-date data in Salesforce, including the admissions status for all learners in the funnel. This involves tracking applicants' progress from the initial application through all phases of the admissions process until they are enrolled in the program. - Comprehensive Support: - Manage the transition of applicants through the entire admissions process, ensuring they receive the support and information needed to move from application to enrollment. Event execution 20%: Hosting and facilitating events such as weekly open house webinars and monthly program prep events are integral to our engagement strategy. These events provide prospective and admitted learners with valuable insights into our programs and allow them to interact directly with our team.

By delivering high-quality events, advisors help increase applicant interest and commitment, thereby boosting our conversion rates and enhancing the overall applicant experience. Responsibilities - - Webinars and Events: - Host weekly open house webinars to provide prospective applicants with detailed information about the program. This includes preparing materials, presenting information, and addressing any questions from attendees. - Host monthly Program Prep Events to help new enrollees prepare for the program.
