Job description
College Outreach Coordinator – Part-Time
Location: Marlborough, MA – In Office Schedule: Part-Time, Approximately 20 Hours per Week Hours: Flexible Weekday Schedule During Normal Business Hours
About the Opportunity
We are a Marlborough-based company developing an education technology program focused on helping colleges, universities, and schools provide practical life skills and career-readiness education to students.
We're looking for a personable, organized, and technology-comfortable individual to help us introduce our programs to colleges and universities throughout the United States.
This is an excellent part-time opportunity for someone who is comfortable communicating professionally through LinkedIn and email, enjoys researching and connecting with people, and wants to gain experience in education technology, marketing, business development, and AI-assisted outreach.
This is not a traditional cold-calling position.
The majority of your outreach will be conducted through LinkedIn and email. Your primary goal will be to identify the appropriate contacts at colleges and universities, start conversations, and schedule interested organizations for a presentation with a member of our marketing team.
What You'll Do
College & University Outreach
Research colleges and universities and identify appropriate contacts within areas such as Career Readiness, Career Services, Student Success, Workforce Development, and related departments.
Connect with college and university professionals through LinkedIn.
Send professional introductory messages through LinkedIn and email.
Use company-provided messaging templates and customize them appropriately for each institution and contact.
Use tools to help personalize outreach while maintaining a professional and authentic message.
Follow up with contacts who have not yet responded.
Maintain organized records of outreach activity and responses.
Appointment Setting
Your primary objective will be to turn interested contacts into scheduled conversations.
You will:
Respond to people who express interest in learning more.
Answer basic initial questions using information and materials we provide.
Communicate by email, LinkedIn, and occasionally telephone with interested contacts.
Coordinate schedules and arrange virtual presentations with our marketing team.
Ensure our marketing representative has the appropriate background information before each meeting.
You will not be expected to conduct the sales presentation or close the sale yourself.
There may be some telephone communication, but this position is not focused on making unsolicited cold calls. Phone conversations will primarily be with people who have already responded or expressed interest.
What We're Looking For
You do not need extensive sales experience.
We're more interested in finding someone who is:
An excellent written communicator.
Friendly, professional, and comfortable communicating with college and university professionals.
Comfortable using LinkedIn professionally.
Comfortable using email for business communication.
Able to research organizations and identify the right people to contact.
Organized and persistent with follow-up.
Comfortable learning and using AI-assisted productivity tools.
Able to personalize a provided message rather than simply copying and pasting the same message to everyone.
Comfortable speaking on the phone when an interested contact wants to talk.
Self-directed and able to work independently once trained.
Experience in education, higher education, recruiting, marketing, customer service, administrative support, social media, appointment setting, or business development is helpful but not required.
College students, recent graduates, people returning to the workforce, and experienced professionals looking for a flexible part-time schedule are encouraged to apply.
Schedule
Approximately 20 hours per week.
This position is in our Marlborough, Massachusetts office.
We can offer flexibility in how the 20 hours are scheduled Monday through Friday, provided the majority of the work occurs during normal college and university business hours.
For example, this could potentially work well for someone seeking:
Five 4-hour days
Four 5-hour days
Another consistent weekday schedule that works for both sides
What Success Looks Like
Success in this position isn't measured simply by how many messages you send.
We're looking for someone who can:
Identify the right people → Start conversations → Generate interest → Schedule qualified meetings.
You'll work closely with our team to continuously improve messaging, identify which types of contacts respond best, and determine which outreach strategies generate the strongest opportunities.
Why This Could Be a Great Part-Time Opportunity
You'll gain hands-on experience with:
Higher education outreach
Education technology
LinkedIn business development
AI-assisted marketing
Lead generation
Appointment setting
Professional communication
Early-stage business growth
Most importantly, you'll be helping introduce colleges and universities to programs designed to better prepare students for life and their careers.
