- Assist with event marketing and community outreach initiatives.
- Track and report on marketing and admissions performance metrics to inform strategy and growth.
Family Engagement & Communication
- Build strong, trust-based relationships with prospective and enrolled families, ensuring a welcoming and responsive experience.
- Support parent communication systems, including newsletters, announcements, and onboarding materials.
- Assist in managing the school’s Learning Management System (LMS) or parent portal for admissions and onboarding purposes.
- Coordinate parent events and feedback channels to foster a vibrant, inclusive school community.
Systems & Pre-Opening Support
- Help design and refine admissions, marketing, and family engagement systems suitable for a growing international school.
- Maintain organized documentation, data, and workflows to support inspections, reporting, and operational readiness.
- Collaborate closely with operations, academic leadership, and external partners to ensure alignment across teams.
About You
You are a warm, proactive, and highly organized professional who believes that strong schools are built on strong relationships and clear systems. You are excited by the opportunity to help launch a new school and shape its culture from the ground up.
You bring:
- Experience in admissions, marketing, or community engagement, ideally within a school or mission-driven organization.
- Strong relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage families from diverse backgrounds with empathy, professionalism, and care.
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with an eye for detail and storytelling.
- Organizational and systems-thinking strengths, able to manage multiple priorities while maintaining high standards.
- Astute listening and observation, allowing you to understand family needs and communicate Sankoré’s value clearly and authentically.
- Initiative and reliability, with a strong sense of ownership and follow-through.
