The Marketing & Communications team is responsible for connecting the world to lifelong transformative learning. They also work to shape public conversations on the future of education and work. The team is segmented into four areas of focus: Consumer Marketing, Enterprise Marketing, Brand & Creative, and Communications. The team is currently focused on expanding the reach of Coursera’s brand and bringing new learners to the site, connecting students to degree programs, attracting new enterprise customers — including businesses, governments, and campuses — and creating a marketing system that nurtures learners throughout their professional lives.

As an Enrollment Representative you will be part of the Enrollment Team, enabling us to achieve successful recruitment cycles and achieve cohort goals for university degrees that are hosted on the Coursera platform. This position is primarily responsible for communicating with English-speaking prospective degree students in local and international markets via phone, email, chat and other tools to move them through the enrollment process on to enrollment. As an Enrollment Representative, you will be the main point of contact for assigned prospective students who demonstrate interest in any of our hosted online degree programs from India. We are looking for someone who can maintain a high level of professionalism, implement our call road map and outreach strategy, and be excited about helping students reach their professional and academic goals.

You will have a direct impact on the growth and success of degree programs hosted on the Coursera platform and will help shape the future of higher education. The right candidate will feel comfortable working in a lean, performance-driven environment while maintaining a strong sense of team and collaboration. This is a full-time, remote role. The position primarily requires working within the Indian Standard Time (IST) zone to engage with English-speaking prospective students. However, flexibility is essential, as there may be occasions when reaching out to learners in other regions necessitates adjusting working hours to align with their respective time zones.
