About Bravodium

Bravodium is an education company dedicated to turning learning into a meaningful journey of identity, resilience, and purpose. We combine AI-powered tools with human-centered mentorship to help students understand themselves, develop their strengths, and design academic and personal pathways aligned with their goals.

Our holistic framework integrates cognitive development, motivation, leadership, accountability, family collaboration, and AI empowerment. We believe college admissions should be a byproduct of authentic growth rather than the sole objective. Our mission is to help students become confident, capable, and self-directed learners who are prepared to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

As Bravodium grows, we are seeking passionate educators and advisors who care deeply about student development and want to work at the intersection of education, AI, psychology, and culture.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Full-Time College Admissions Consultant to guide students and families through the U.S. college admissions process, from early high-school planning to application submission and enrollment decisions.

This role is ideal for someone who understands admissions strategy, student development, essay storytelling, activity positioning, and family communication. The consultant will work closely with students in grades 8–12 to help them identify strengths, build meaningful academic and extracurricular profiles, develop balanced college lists, prepare applications, and craft authentic personal narratives.

Beyond admissions advising, the consultant will serve as a mentor and strategic thought partner, helping students develop ownership, reflection, initiative, and long-term planning skills.

What You'll Do

• Provide comprehensive college admissions counseling for high-school students and families.
• Develop individualized admissions strategies based on each student's academic profile, interests, strengths, goals, personality, and family expectations.
• Guide students in course selection, extracurricular planning, leadership development, competitions, research opportunities, summer programs, internships, and other enrichment experiences.
• Support college list development, including reach, target, and likely schools.
• Advise students on Common App, UC applications, supplemental essays, activity lists, resumes, portfolios, and interview preparation.
• Help students develop authentic and compelling personal narratives across essays and application materials.
• Meet regularly with students and families, providing accountability, coaching, and progress tracking.
• Manage application timelines, deadlines, deliverables, and parent communication.
• Lead workshops, webinars, or small-group advising sessions when needed.
• Collaborate with colleagues to refine advising frameworks, share best practices, and improve the student experience.
• Integrate Bravodium's AI-powered tools into advising workflows and student planning processes.
• Create or improve advising resources, planning templates, workshops, and internal counseling materials.
• Stay informed about admissions trends, policies, and changes across universities and educational pathways.
• Model professional, inclusive, and culturally responsive communication.
• Comply with safeguarding practices for working with minors, including privacy standards, approved communication channels, and Bravodium's Code of Conduct.
