Assistant Director of Recruiting & Student-Athlete Specialist
A generous sign-on bonus is available.
Landmark College is a unique, fully accredited college for neurodivergent students with learning differences (LD), including dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and executive function challenges. Landmark provides an intentionally designed, resource-rich academic and student life model yet is also a traditional college. Reporting to the Director of Admissions, the Admissions Recruiter & Student-Athlete Specialist plays a key role in achieving our enrollment goals while capitalizing on the market appeal of a growing no-cut Athletics program.
This role will capitalize on excellent relationship-building skills to present Landmark College to prospective students, families, and educational professionals both on campus and through recruitment travel. Working closely with the Senior Director of Admissions, this role will work to increase admissions applications and enrollments from a variety of populations and will execute various projects assigned by the Senior Director of Admissions including outreach to students interested in Athletics and Athletics programs and LD-focused secondary schools. Primed for a dual responsibility coaching in one of Landmark College's athletic programs, this role may capitalize on athletic team travel to dovetail with admission recruitment needs; and periods of home athletic responsibilities to be a consistent in-office presence while other members of the staff are away for recruitment travel. The successful candidate will follow up on all recruitment interactions with detailed notes and reporting and will utilize strong communication skills to collaborate with other members of the Enrollment Management staff.

This position offers the opportunity to join the College during an exciting growth phase: a breadth of short-term/intersession, LC Online, and 2- and 4-year academic programs are offered; student retention has increased; a Success Center micro-campus has started on the west coast; and all residential and online program enrollment outcomes have been consistent. Landmark also offers competitive wages and an excellent benefits package, including medical, dental and vision plans; a generous vacation and time off package; a TIAA retirement plan that includes 6% College contribution; tuition reimbursement; and more.
Qualifications and Expectations: BA or BS required. Candidates are expected to have experience in admissions and athletic coaching, ideally at a college or university, a working understanding of databases and systems, a commitment to a diverse and inclusive community, and an ability to compellingly articulate the value of a Landmark College education to a wide range of constituents. An understanding of LD is highly desirable. Interest in filling a coaching vacancy in Athletics or Esports a plus.
