Students Coordinator

Mate academy - an EdTech startup with a technological, gamified, AI-powered LMS platform where people learn IT specialties.

🤘Already, 6000+ graduates have landed their first IT jobs in just 4 months of training.

🌎 Successfully launched our business in Poland and Brazil and have plans to expand to other countries.

We are looking for a Students Coordinator who will guide a group of 40-50 students through their learning journey and then help them land their first IT job. This is a hybrid role that starts with education coordination and evolves into full-cycle employment support, making a direct impact on whether our students successfully break into IT.

Your qualities and skills that will be valued:

• Experience in active communication with people — working with clients, students, or teams, and resolving organizational issues along the way.
• Excellent communication skills, empathy, and the ability to motivate and support others.
• Structured, detail-oriented, and responsible approach to work.
• Ability to learn quickly and adapt to new processes.
• English level Intermediate+ (for working with documentation, reviewing CVs, and conducting interviews in English).
• Ukrainian language proficiency, as you'll work closely with Ukrainian-speaking students and documentation.
• Willingness to work from our Kyiv office at least three times a week, especially during the onboarding phase.
• Ability to be both supportive and firm when needed.

Your additional advantages:

• Background in psychology, teaching, customer support, project management, or sales.
• Experience organizing learning processes, working with groups, or mentoring.
• Experience working with analytics, dashboards, or spreadsheets.
• Understanding of the IT market and tech industry as a whole.
• Team coordination or leadership experience, or a background in recruitment.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting a group of 40-50 students throughout their studies: checking module completion, organizing the course start, and providing ongoing support.
• Collaborating with the coach and mentors (4-6 people) to organize the learning process and keep students motivated.
• Resolving organizational, communication, and motivational issues within the group.
• Conducting tech-checks, Q&A sessions, and helping students solve problems as they arise.
• Supporting mentors, organizing team-building activities, and fostering a positive atmosphere.
• Preparing students for employment: reviewing CVs, LinkedIn profiles, and cover letters, and helping them prepare for interviews in Ukrainian and English.
• Providing daily support to students during their job search: tracking application submissions, communicating with recruiters, and following up.
• Conducting mock interviews and training students on soft skills.
• Collaborating with mentors during the employment stage.
• Analyzing interview outcomes and helping students improve the effectiveness of their job search.

We offer:

• Your voice matters — you won't just follow a plan, you'll help make it.
• A no-bullshit culture with 0% bureaucracy.
• A team that shares knowledge and isn't afraid to make mistakes.
• The top EdTech product in Ukraine.
• Competitive salary, regular reviews, Gig contract collaboration.
• Paid sick leave & 22 working days annual vacation.
• Self-development days for continuous learning.
• Personal crisis leave, arranged individually.
• Financial assistance in a medical emergency or if your home was damaged due to war.

• Pet-friendly office in central Kyiv with shelter.
• Company-paid lunches.
• Relocation bonus.

Recruitment process:

• Test assignment (30-60 minutes).
