The Role
The Student Success Manager will ensure that every student feels heard, supported, informed, and confident throughout their KGC journey.
You will conduct regular meetings with students and parents to understand their progress, satisfaction, concerns, changing goals, and expectations, and coordinate internally to ensure the right action is taken.
