Marketing and Admissions Associate

About the Role

As Sankoré prepares to open its doors, the Marketing and Admissions Associate will play a pivotal role in shaping the school's public presence and building a strong, values-aligned founding family community. From the first inquiry to enrollment and onboarding, you will guide families through a warm, thoughtful, and well-organized admissions journey while helping to tell Sankoré's story to the wider community.

This is a dynamic, evolving role—starting with pre-opening marketing, outreach, and admissions systems, and growing into ongoing enrollment and family engagement support once the school is operational.
