Job Description:

At Campus, the Financial Aid team helps students access the resources they need to pursue life-changing education. We support students from the moment they file a FAFSA through to final aid disbursement, walking with them through every question, form, and curveball along the way. We’re not just processing forms - we’re educators, advocates and communicators. Our team blends empathy with precision, thriving on helping students move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling confident and supported. As a Financial Aid Specialist, you’ll manage a large caseload of students and serve as a key touchpoint in their enrollment journey. This is a high-impact, student-facing role responsible for helping students understand and complete the financial aid process. You’ll use empathetic guidance to help them complete complex paperwork, explain funding options, and deliver difficult information with warmth and clarity. You’ll balance detailed, policy-driven work with deeply human conversations, and you’ll do it all in a fast-paced, collaborative environment that’ll require you to be flexible, adaptable, and proactive. This is a great role for someone who’s part analyst, part communicator and is eager to contribute to a high-growth startup and team.

Job Responsibility:

  • Guide students through the full financial aid process, including FAFSA completion, verification, packaging, and disbursement steps
  • Calculate aid packages, generate offer letters using financial systems, and explain them clearly to students
  • Navigate emotionally complex conversations such as aid barriers and denials, Pell eligibility, and payment plans while maintaining student trust and empathy
  • Stay organized across systems, trackers, and notes while managing 200–500+ students, and prioritizing persistent outreach and responsiveness through phone, text, and email
  • Collaborate closely with Admissions Counselors (ACs), Onboarding Specialists (OSes), and Success Coaches (SCs) to create a smooth, unified student experience across departments
  • Stay current on changing policies and procedures, adapting workflows quickly and contributing to teamwide knowledge

Requirements:

  • Strong communication, relationship-building, and documentation skills
  • Ability to navigate ambiguity and adapt to new systems quickly
  • Comfortable having tough conversations with empathy and professionalism
  • Positivity and a growth mindset
  • Bachelor's degree

Nice to have:

  • Familiarity with financial aid systems (e.g., FAFSA, ISIR review, Title IV policies)
  • Experience in a student-facing, customer support, or process-heavy role
  • Comfort using CRM tools, communication platforms, and trackers
  • Background in fast-paced or startup environments
What we offer:
  • Medical Insurance + free Dental and Vision Insurance
  • 401(k) match
  • Fertility benefits via Carrot
  • Flexible Time Away + paid holidays
  • Opportunity to make an impact – you’ll be an integral player in bringing our vision to life
