Student Mentor

We are Hiring: Student Mentor

At One Percent Abroad, we work with ambitious students targeting top universities, competitive research programs, and scholarship opportunities around the world.

We're looking for a Student Mentor who is highly organised, genuinely enjoys helping students turn their goals into a clear, actionable plan, and is comfortable managing multiple university deadlines and moving parts.

NB: We are currently accepting applications from candidates based in Calicut(kozhikode) only.

What you'll be doing

• Build meaningful relationships with students and understand their academic, career, and personal goals
• Guide students through different stages of their study-abroad journey and keep them moving forward
• Evaluate student profiles and identify areas where their academic, extracurricular, or overall application can be strengthened
• Research universities, courses, scholarships, and other opportunities that align with each student's profile
• Create and manage university and program shortlists based on factors such as profile fit, career goals, competitiveness, and budget
• Track application progress, deadlines, documents, and pending actions
• Review application materials and flag errors, inconsistencies, missing information, or potential concerns
• Coordinate with students and internal teams to ensure applications move smoothly and on time
• Keep students accountable while making the process less overwhelming for them

Who are we looking for

You could be a great fit if you:

• Have a sharp eye for detail
• Enjoy researching, organising information, and solving problems
• Are comfortable working with multiple students, deadlines, and moving parts
• Communicate clearly and confidently in English
• Are empathetic and patient, while also being comfortable holding students accountable
• Are a fresher or have 0–2 years of experience
• Have an interest in higher education, international education, or studying abroad

You don't need to know everything about studying abroad on Day 1. Curiosity, ownership, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn matter more.

What you'll get

• Hands-on experience in student mentoring and international higher education
• Strong exposure to university research, applications, scholarships, and admissions strategy
• The opportunity to develop project management, communication, research, and coordination skills
• Increasing ownership as you grow — including the opportunity to manage larger student portfolios

If you're someone who enjoys organising chaos, solving problems, researching opportunities, and helping people achieve ambitious goals, we'd love to hear from you.
