About the role

Sales Manager, College Admissions Consulting LingoAce | Remote | U.S. MarketLingoAce is building its U.S. college-admissions counseling business. We’re looking for a sales professional who understands the market, knows how to connect with prospective families, and can turn opportunities into enrollment. You’ll play an early role in growing the business, with meaningful input into how we reach customers, position our services, and build our sales approach.
What you’ll do: Identify target customer segments and develop practical ways to reach prospective families. Generate leads through outreach, referrals, partnerships, and collaboration with marketing. Own the sales process from initial contact and consultation through proposal, follow-up, and enrollment. Understand each family’s goals, concerns, and budget, and recommend services that fit their needs. Bring insights into customer expectations, competitors, and opportunities to differentiate our offering. Track pipeline and conversion performance, test new approaches, and improve sales results. Coordinate with the counseling team to set clear expectations and ensure a smooth client handoff.
What we’re looking for: Relevant consultative sales experience, ideally in college-admissions consulting, international education, or a related service business. A working understanding of the U.S. college-counseling market and how families evaluate providers. Demonstrated ability to generate opportunities, build trust, and close sales. Practical ideas about customer acquisition—and the initiative to test and execute them. Strong communication, organization, and follow-through in a remote environment. We value market insight and demonstrated results more than years in the industry. An existing management title is not required.
What we offer: Remote work. An opportunity to help shape a new college-admissions counseling business. Ownership of customer acquisition initiatives and room to grow with the business. Competitive compensation, with flexibility to discuss a package—including fixed and performance-based pay—that reflects your experience and the role’s scope. Interested? Apply through LinkedIn with your résumé or profile. We’d welcome a conversation about your experience, what you’d look for in a next opportunity, and whether there could be a fit.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
