You will guide leads through every step of the admissions process, from first inquiry through to enrolment, building genuine connections and helping prospective students match their ambitions to the right program. This is a performance-driven role with real earning potential, structured training, and room to grow within a creative, student-centered organization.

- Provide clear, accurate, and complete information about programs, schedules, tuition, and the student experience
- Follow up consistently and proactively to move applications forward and meet enrolment targets
- Support students with application steps, required documents, and next actions
- Maintain accurate notes, statuses, and activity in internal systems
- Work closely with finance, student services, and leadership to support enrolment goals
- Participate in daily team huddles, coaching sessions, and ongoing training
- Support open houses, information sessions, and recruitment events (occasionally evenings or weekends, approximately 4 to 6 times per year)
- Represent InFocus Film School with professionalism, energy, and genuine care for the students we serve

- Comfortable speaking with people by phone, video, and in person with confidence and warmth
- Able to take coaching, apply feedback quickly, and continuously improve
- Organized and able to manage multiple active applications and tasks simultaneously
- Passion for film, television, VFX, or animation: you do not need to be a filmmaker, but genuine enthusiasm for the industry goes a long way
- Familiarity with the post-secondary education landscape in BC
- Bilingual or multilingual skill is a strong asset
- Onsite availability in Vancouver, BC, Monday to Friday
