The Roxbury Latin School seeks to appoint an Assistant/Associate Director of College Counseling beginning in the fall semester of 2026. Among other duties, this position entails guiding a group of Roxbury Latin boys through the college selection and application process each year, including working closely with boys to build college lists; writing personalized recommendations; providing feedback to students on their college essays; advising families on college choices and financial aid; representing Roxbury Latin to colleges; and remaining abreast of current trends in the college application and enrollment management process. Successful candidates will demonstrate excellent writing and communication skills; understand athletic recruitment, need-based financial aid, and merit-award packages; have facility with college advising software; be interested in thinking creatively about the ever-evolving college admissions landscape; be eager to work in a collaborative environment; be able to enthusiastically and eloquently advocate for our students; and demonstrate a passion for working with high school students and a capacity to engage students and families with honesty and empathy. For interested candidates, additional duties could include coaching, academic advising, supervising other extracurricular activities, or teaching an academic course. A bachelor’s degree is required, along with significant experience in selective college admissions or college counseling offices.  Ideally, the position will begin in August 2026; however, because the candidate hired will not have a caseload of students in the Class of 2027, a start date later in the fall of 2026 is also possible.

The salary range for this position is $80,000 - $120,000, depending on experience. Qualified applicants should send a letter of interest and a résumé via email to hiring@roxburylatin.org with the heading “College Counseling Position.”
