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

Location: Kozhikode

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.
