    Come Grow With Us

    Grand Canyon Education (GCE) is a rapidly growing educational service company that has long been an industry leader in providing educational, operational, and technological support services to the post-secondary education sector. Formerly part of Grand Canyon University (GCU), GCE still works closely with GCU to benefit thousands of students, families and the local inner-city community. We put people first, drive innovation, and do good in the community that we live and work in.

    Join us at Grand Canyon Education and begin your career helping Grand Canyon University-Traditional Ground Campus students succeed! We are looking for a motivated Admissions Counselor to recruit students primarily through phone and email contact in this unique campus-based opportunity. Starting salary is $40,000 per year with a tenure-based compensation plan that allows you to increase your earning potential upon the completion of each year-long recruitment cycle.

    Who you are:

    You find fulfillment in serving others and are passionate about the power of education. You’ve demonstrated success as a team player who thrives in a phone-based environment, is adaptable to change, and does everything intentionally.

    You know it’s not all about achieving (and often crushing!) your goals. While that does get you excited, what you really thrive on is making a positive impact on the world by helping prospective students make one of the most important decisions in their lives through a quality education and community at Grand Canyon University’s campus in Phoenix, AZ.

Whether over the phone, via email, text, Zoom or on rare occasions in person when travelling locally or out of state to cover events/activities, you will champion the GCE mission, promoting Grand Canyon University student success and institutional growth.

    + Hustles. You’ll be busy using your unique ability to make connections over the phone with prospective students, parents, high school teachers and community college faculty.

    + Outstanding time management and organization skills. In this role, you’ll be wearing many hats, so you’ll need to show that not only have you honed your time management skills, you also know how to organize and prioritize competing priorities even while travelling on occasion.

    + Clear communication and engaging presentation skills. You can explain just about anything to anyone and you’re comfortable communicating on the phone, in writing and sometimes in person. You are confident and can engage any audience no matter if you are presenting over the phone, through Zoom or in person. You’ll also need to have well developed listening skills.
