Valor Collegiate Academies Careers

Description

Location: In-person, on-site in Nashville, TN

Employment Type: Full-time, 12-month role

Salary: $47,000-$53,000 based on relevant professional experience.

About the Role: The Enrollment & Outreach Coordinator reports directly to the Enrollment Manager and is responsible for executing student recruitment, outreach, and admissions systems to ensure annual application goals are met across our school network.

The Coordinator acts as both an engaging brand ambassador and an operational anchor by overseeing community recruitment events, family enrollment support, multi-campus onboarding orientations, and precise data entry. This role requires proactive collaboration with campus principals, Directors of Operations, and Metro Nashville Public Schools to ensure a seamless and equitable application and lottery process. Because the Coordinator serves as a primary network representative to a highly diverse population, exceptional public speaking skills, a collaborative mindset, and a sharp attention to detail during independent data analysis are essential to success.
