We extend the international teams of higher education institutions into the world’s most important education markets. We are not agents, providers of pathway programs, or middlemen. Our only economic interest is to provide in-market services for our client institutions. Our clients decide their own international agenda, and we find and supervise local staff that will work in seamless collaboration with our partners to reach their targets. What is cool about this job? As a Recruitment Officer, you will build a strong personal connection to the people at Trinity and to the institution itself. You will contribute directly to the evolution of the institution and its international strategy. The work you do will impact the educational opportunities available to both students at Trinity as well as in the MENA region You will be given the opportunity to develop skills such as: strategic analysis and strategy development; communicating at a high level with customers; managing a complex agenda; and crafting realistic and successful business models to support academic partnership. You will also have the chance to travel to visit your customer campus.

Grok is dedicated to doing excellent work for our customers and it’s exciting to be part of our growing team. What is hard about this job? With greater control, comes greater responsibility and this can result in pressure. Most education institutions the world over have complex governance, which means that they are not able to change rapidly: you may know how an institution can improve their outcomes in the MENA region, but it might take months or years for them to be able to address your feedback, and that can lead to frustration. Stress management is important. The job sometimes requires significant travel within the region, which can be great, but it can also sometimes be tiring. Perks and Benefits
