Director of Admissions

Are you passionate about data, analytics, and training, and want to help launch the next generation of data analysts and data scientists in their exciting careers?

About iO-Sphere

iO-Sphere is an innovative ed-tech startup that creates amazing training and talent solutions that deliver lasting outcomes for our partners. We're changing the face of vocational training in Data & AI.

iO-Sphere launched in 2023 with a unique B2C bootcamp - the Experience Accelerator - which takes a radically different approach to training for data analysts and engineers. For our partner employers, we have created a new talent pool of diverse, high-performing data analysts and engineers that we have trained with our experience-driven model. Our Train Now, Pay Later model means you will not find a team more committed to our learner's careers.

About the role

iO-Sphere is hiring for a talented Head of Student Admissions to take ownership over our existing student enrolment process and help bring new products to market. This is a B2C sales role that will focus on increasing the conversion rate of our inbound applications. You will manage a small, amazing, and growing team. Our leaders lead from the front, and so you should be excited to work directly with prospective students to explain our courses, answer questions, qualify leads, identify opportunities for improvement, and ultimately drive enrolments.

This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious person who wants to join an exciting start-up and use their experience in new and different ways. If you're curious and want to know more, please apply so that we can have an initial conversation to answer any questions you might have.

Location: iO-Sphere is headquartered in London with half our team in South Africa. South African positions are as contractors for now as we do not yet have a permanent entity. Our students are mostly based in the UK for now and so you should be comfortable selling into the UK.

Salary Range: Rand 80k - 110k per month + performance bonus & commission

At iO-Sphere we value diversity and welcome individuals from all backgrounds to participate in our program. If you require reasonable adjustments at any stage of the application or interview process, please inform us.

Responsibilities:
  • Recruit and lead a high-performing team of admissions advisors.
  • Interact directly with inbound prospective students to qualify individuals and enrol in the Experience Accelerator.
  • Help optimise the funnel to ensure that we are securing the best candidates for our programs.
  • Scope and bring new products to market.
  • Full revenue ownership for the B2C P&L.
  • Use sales and CRM tools like Hubspot to create amazing processes that scale.
  • Report back on applicants needs and requirements.
  • Act as a brand ambassador for iOS-Sphere.

  • Significant experience in inbound sales, ideally in education and training.
  • Experience with cold calling, introduction, qualification, and meetings.
  • Experience selling bootcamps, training programs, ideally in data.
  • Experience selling into the UK market.
