Proven counsellor? Bring your skill to a brand people trust.

We’re hiring experienced Academic Counsellors in Belagavi to work on the upGrad program — a leading name in career-focused higher education and upskilling. You’ll be on ATIL’s payroll, running counselling and enrolments for the upGrad program: owning a book of warm leads, guiding learners to the right course, and closing enrolments at a high, honest conversion rate.

If you’ve done education counselling, edtech inside sales, or any consultative tele-sales, this is a role where your experience is rewarded — with a higher fixed salary, uncapped incentives, and warm leads instead of cold lists.

1–4 years experience · Belagavi · On-site · Warm leads provided.

What you’ll actually do

  • Own a pipeline of warm leads — learners who have already expressed interest, generated by ATIL’s marketing campaigns
  • Run consultative counselling calls — quickly understand each learner’s background, goals, and constraints, and recommend the right upGrad program honestly
  • Handle objections and financing conversations confidently — fees, EMIs, outcomes, time commitment
  • Drive enrolments against monthly targets, maintaining a strong, clean conversion rate
  • Follow up with discipline across multi-touch journeys — the follow-up is where experienced counsellors win
  • Keep the CRM accurate and your pipeline forecastable
  • Mentor newer counsellors informally and share what works

Who we’re looking for

  • 1–4 years of experience in academic/education counselling, edtech inside sales, or consultative tele-sales
  • A track record of hitting enrolment or sales targets — you can talk about your numbers
  • Excellent communication in English, Hindi, and Kannada (or a strong mix) — you build trust fast and handle objections calmly
  • Comfort with a CRM and pipeline discipline — you manage your own follow-ups reliably
  • A consultative, ethical approach — you guide learners to the right decision, not just any decision
  • Based in (or willing to relocate to) Belagavi for an on-site role

Nice to have

  • Direct experience with upGrad, edtech, or higher-education programs
  • Experience selling high-ticket courses or degrees with EMI/financing conversations
  • Exposure to lead-management tools, dialers, or sales dashboards
  • A history of top-quartile conversion rates on warm leads

What you’ll get

  • Fixed salary of ₹4.0–6.0 LPA (based on experience) plus uncapped enrolment incentives — top closers earn significantly more
  • Warm, high-intent leads from ATIL’s marketing — you spend your time counselling, not chasing cold lists
  • A respected education brand behind you, which makes every conversation easier
  • A clear path to Senior Counsellor and Team Lead roles as you deliver
  • A fast-growing Belagavi company that invests in its people

Growth path

  • 0–12 months: Academic Counsellor — own your book, exceed targets, maximise incentives
  • 12–24 months: Senior Academic Counsellor — the toughest leads, the highest incentives, informal mentoring
  • 24 months+: Team Lead — own a counselling team, its pipeline, and its numbers
