We are a growing Australian RTO (Registered Training Organization) seeking an ambitious, results-driven Sales Representative / Education Consultant who understands the VET sector and possesses established relationships within the education agent network.
MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS – Please do not apply unless you meet these:
- Minimum 2–3 years' experience in student recruitment or sales within an RTO, VET college, or higher education provider

- Strong understanding of CRICOS, the ESOS Framework, and international student recruitment compliance
- Proven track record of meeting and exceeding sales targets in student enrolments
- Direct experience handling sales pipelines, agent commission structures, and student consultations
About the Role:
This is not an entry-level position. We need a high-performing sales professional who can hit the ground running, leverage existing education agent relationships, and actively recruit prospective students into our course offerings.
You will act as the key driver of institutional growth, managing the sales pipeline from initial agent/student contact right through to course offer and enrolment—all while maintaining strict compliance with ASQA and CRICOS standards.
Key Responsibilities:
- Actively recruit prospective international and domestic students to meet quarterly enrolment targets
- Build, maintain, and expand relationships with education agents and key industry partners
- Conduct detailed student consultations, assessing course suitability and entry requirements
- Manage the end-to-end sales lifecycle within the RTO CRM/Student Management System
- Represent the college at education expos, agent workshops, and industry networking events
- Work alongside the compliance team to ensure all marketing, recruitment, and offer letters adhere to regulatory guidelines
- Provide accurate reporting on sales pipelines, conversion rates, and market trends
Essential Experience & Skills:
- 2–3 years of sales/recruitment experience in an RTO or VET college environment (mandatory)
- Demonstrated ability to build strong agent partnerships and drive enrolment growth
- Sound knowledge of visa conditions, Genuine Student (GS) requirements, and CRICOS rules
- Exceptional negotiation, presentation, and interpersonal communication skills
- Strong target-oriented mindset with excellent time management skills
- Proficiency in RTO CRMs and Microsoft Office Suite
Highly Regarded
- Existing agent network across key onshore and offshore student markets
- Multilingual capabilities tailored to major international student demographics
- Experience expanding course offerings or entering new geographic markets
- Deep knowledge of packaging courses, credit transfers, and pathway programs
What Makes You Stand Out
- You’re a natural deal-closer who thrives in a target-driven, fast-paced environment
- You know how to build trust with agents so your college is always their top choice
- You understand the compliance boundary between active sales pitch and genuine student assessment
- You turn inquiries into enrolments through fast, effective, and professional follow-up
Why Join Us?
- Competitive base salary plus an attractive bonus/commission structure
- Vibrant, supportive workplace culture within a growing RTO
- Opportunity to play a key role in the college's strategic growth
- Work with a diverse team and international student community
Important: Applications without demonstrated sales experience in the Australian VET/CRICOS sector will not be considered. Please ensure your resume clearly highlights your track record in student recruitment and agent management.
