Academic Counsellor – Healthcare Careers
Academically Global | Hyderabad/Hybrid, India | Full-Time
You Won't Be Selling a Course. You'll Be the Reason Someone Actually Makes the Leap.
Picture this: a pharmacist in Nagpur has spent three years wondering if she's capable of clearing OPRA and building a life in Sydney. She's read forty blog posts, watched a hundred YouTube videos, and still hasn't pressed "enroll" on anything, because nobody's ever actually talked her through it like a real person who gets it.
That call is going to be yours.
Every day, you'll pick up the phone to doctors, pharmacists, dentists, and nurses standing at exactly that fork in the road and you'll be the person who turns "I've been thinking about this for two years" into "I start Monday." Not by pushing. By actually knowing the pathways (AMC, USMLE, UKMLA, OPRA, Gulf licensing, MSL, pharmacovigilance) well enough to tell someone honestly which one fits their life and then walking them there.
Here's the Part Most Ads Won't Tell You
Most counselling roles in Hyderabad have you selling the same commoditized course to anyone who picks up the phone. This one doesn't work that way, because the "product" isn't a course, it's a career pivot for someone who already has a medical degree and is deciding whether to bet on a bigger life. That's a fundamentally different conversation, and it's why we built this role around counselling frameworks, not call scripts.
What Your Day Actually Looks Like
- ~100 conversations a day, ~2 hours of real talk-time, not dialing into silence, actual conversations with people who already have skin in the game (they're doctors and pharmacists, not cold leads off a scraped list)
- Diagnose, don't pitch, figure out whether AMC or USMLE fits their goals, whether Pharmacovigilance or Medical Writing suits their strengths, before you ever mention enrollment
- Own your pipeline end-to-end in CRM, no passing leads to someone else to close what you started
- Watch someone go from "maybe someday" to actually building the career they'll tell their kids about
Who Thrives Here
- 0–5 years in EdTech admissions, inside sales, or counselling, freshers genuinely welcome, we'll train you on the pathways
- You'd rather earn trust over three calls than force a close on the first one
- Comfortable with structure (CRM, follow-up cadences) but not robotic about it
- Bachelor's degree, any discipline — we care more about how you listen than what you studied
What You Get Back
- Competitive fixed salary + performance incentives that actually reward quality enrolments, not just call volume
- Direct mentorship from Dr. Akram Ahmad — 1M+ followers, built this from zero, still personally invested in how his team grows
- A real path to Senior Counsellor / Team Lead, not a ceiling dressed up as a "growth opportunity"
- A Hyderabad office that's part of something genuinely global - head office in Sydney, sister offices in Dehradun and Delhi
The Honest Pitch
Most jobs let you hit a target. This one lets you watch a pharmacist you talked to on a random Tuesday afternoon post "I got my Australian visa" eight months later — and know you're the reason she believed she could.
- Apply if that sounds like work worth doing, not just a number worth hitting.
