Admissions Mentor

**ABOUT US**:
HyperionDev is one of the largest providers of accelerated tech education in EMEA and one of the oldest providers of 'coding bootcamps' in the world. We work with top universities such as Imperial College London, The London School of Economics, The University of Edinburgh, and Stellenbosch University to deliver structured technical courses and bootcamps that accelerate people into fulfilling tech careers. We have been recognised as one of the top education technology scaleups in the world and gained the financial backing of Meta (previously Facebook) which recognised us as the most socially impactful startup operating in Africa, where we initially started our work.

We are dedicated to closing the global tech skills gap and we achieve this by integrating tech education with human mentorship and expert code review powered by a workforce in Southern Africa, which lowers the cost of an accessible education in technology. This model has been successful, allowing us to reach millions of learners a year from over 60 countries. We have also partnered with government bodies such as the UK's Department for Education who provide scholarships for students to study on our bootcamps and gain employment at companies such as AstraZeneca and the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS).

We're backed by nearly 2000 investors, having raised the largest crowdfunding round of funding for an edtech company in history. As a primarily bootstrapped, profitable, and scale up tech business join us as we play our part in making the world a more stable, safer, and fair place.

**ABOUT THE ROLE**:
The Admissions Mentor is responsible for enabling swift progression of HyperionDev Applicants and Trialists through the enrollment journey.

In this role, you will be providing consultation about technical education, employment options and career progression to people looking for a career change. This will be communicated through the free trial experience. As a trusted expert, you will grade students during the free trial and consult with potential customers to understand their education needs and career goals to match these future goals with one of our HyperionDev coding bootcamps which are designed to help those in non-tech careers switch to full-time coding jobs. You will manage the customer relationship from free trial to handing over to an admissions consultant.
