Head of Admissions - 2 Hour Learning

About the Role

2 Hour Learning is seeking a Head of Admissions to lead the comprehensive enrollment process for its innovative school model, which integrates rigorous academics, technology-driven instruction, and high expectations for both students and faculty. The role focuses on ensuring the best fit between families and the school's educational approach rather than simply maximizing enrollment numbers. As Head of Admissions, you will personally manage the family journey from initial contact through to enrollment, facilitating meaningful discussions, evaluating compatibility, and maintaining clear communication. This position is on-campus and requires relocation to or residency in Chicago, IL, or one of the other designated locations.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the entire admissions journey for prospective families, from first interaction to onboarding completion.
• Conduct needs-based consultations to assess alignment with the school's philosophy before recommending solutions.
• Handle over 20 family engagements concurrently at various enrollment stages with transparent tracking and prompt follow-ups.
• Lead campus tours, student shadow visits, and enrollment conversations, clearly outlining commitments, outcomes, and family fit.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in CRM and Student Information Systems (HubSpot and SIS) to support forecasting, prioritization, and consistent service delivery.

What This Role Does Not Involve

• Using high-pressure or transactional sales tactics.
• Enrolling families who do not align well with the school's standards purely to meet numbers.
• Managing a large team or navigating complex approval processes.
• Sharing responsibility for the family experience among multiple stakeholders.
• Performing duties remotely; the role demands on-campus presence.

Essential Qualifications

• Minimum three years of delivering premium, personalized service in sectors where service quality directly affects brand reputation, such as education, luxury hospitality, executive support, or high-end client services.
• Demonstrated ownership of an end-to-end admissions or client onboarding process.
• Experience managing 20+ client or family accounts simultaneously with effective tracking and prioritization systems.
• Ability to provide consultative guidance, including candid advice against enrollment when appropriate.
• Strong written communication skills tailored to senior leaders, high-net-worth clients, or discerning audiences.
• Ability and willingness to live in or relocate within 60 days to Chicago, IL; Nashville, TN; Tulsa, OK; or Southlake, TX.
• Authorized to work in the United States without needing visa sponsorship.

Preferred Experience

• Background in admissions for selective private schools or competitive educational programs.
• Experience in luxury hospitality, VIP client relations, or executive-level support.
• Track record of developing or improving enrollment workflows, SOPs, or service protocols.
• Competence in using data analytics and CRM tools to enhance enrollment alignment rather than merely increasing volume.
