We are looking for a Students Coordinator who will guide a group of 40-50 students through their learning journey and then help them land their first IT job. This is a hybrid role that starts with education coordination and evolves into full-cycle employment support, making a direct impact on whether our students successfully break into IT.

Your qualities and skills that will be valued:

• Experience in active communication with people — working with clients, students, or teams, and resolving organizational issues along the way.

• Excellent communication skills, empathy, and the ability to motivate and support others.

• Structured, detail-oriented, and responsible approach to work.

• Ability to learn quickly and adapt to new processes.

• English level Intermediate+ (for working with documentation, reviewing CVs, and conducting interviews in English).

• Ukrainian language proficiency, as you'll work closely with Ukrainian-speaking students and documentation.

• Willingness to work from our Kyiv office at least three times a week, especially during the onboarding phase.

• Ability to be both supportive and firm when needed.

Your additional advantages:

• Background in psychology, teaching, customer support, project management, or sales.

• Experience organizing learning processes, working with groups, or mentoring.

• Experience working with analytics, dashboards, or spreadsheets.

• Understanding of the IT market and tech industry as a whole.

• Team coordination or leadership experience, or a background in recruitment.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting a group of 40-50 students throughout their studies: checking module completion, organizing the course start, and providing ongoing support.

• Collaborating with the coach and mentors (4-6 people) to organize the learning process and keep students motivated.

• Resolving organizational, communication, and motivational issues within the group.

• Conducting tech-checks, Q&A sessions, and helping students solve problems as they arise.

• Supporting mentors, organizing team-building activities, and fostering a positive atmosphere.

• Preparing students for employment: reviewing CVs, LinkedIn profiles, and cover letters, and helping them prepare for interviews in Ukrainian and English.

• Providing daily support to students during their job search: tracking application submissions, communicating with recruiters, and following up.

• Conducting mock interviews and training students on soft skills.

• Collaborating with mentors during the employment stage.

• Analyzing interview outcomes and helping students improve the effectiveness of their job search.

We offer:

• Your voice matters — you won't just follow a plan, you'll help make it.

• A no-bullshit culture with 0% bureaucracy.

• A team that shares knowledge and isn't afraid to make mistakes.

• The top EdTech product in Ukraine.

• Competitive salary, regular reviews, Gig contract collaboration.
