The American higher education system is a beacon of innovation, opportunity, and transformation, shaping future leaders and advancing knowledge on a global scale. At CollegeVine, we’re on a mission to not only address these challenges, but also unlock new possibilities for operational efficiency, student success, and alumni advancement. Hundreds of universities trust us with the important job of communicating, advising, and helping millions of their constituents every single day.

As a Forward Deployed Strategist at CollegeVine, you’ll partner directly with our university customers to solve their biggest challenges using data, AI, and web technologies.

Our roots are in delivering near‑peer mentorship at scale, which has since evolved to delivering lifelong guidance through AI and a vast professional network. We have raised over $66m in venture funding from dedicated investors such as Morningside Technology Ventures (Xiaomi, TikTok), the founding partner of 5Y Capital, Fidelity, University Ventures, and more. In 2020, after years of being a remote‑friendly company, CollegeVine became a fully remote company centered on Eastern Time with a diverse cast of team members based predominantly in the United States, but also around the world.
