<h1><strong>Regional Director, University Partnerships </strong>(multiple openings)</h1> <h2><strong>About Juno</strong></h2> <p>Juno organizes the buying power of admitted and current students to <strong>negotiate lower cost private loan options, </strong>at <strong>no cost to schools or students</strong>. Students simply <strong>join a waitlist</strong>, Juno secures discounts that are <strong>better than going directly to lenders</strong>, and students can <strong>check rates with no impact to their credit</strong>. We also provide <strong>1:1 advising to thousands of students each year</strong>, helping them compare options with confidence. </p> <ul> <li>Since 2018, Juno has helped 290k+ students and families access over $2B in funding at the lowest rates available.</li> <li>In 2025, we estimate <strong>14–15% of all private in‑school graduate lending</strong> flowed through Juno and are growing rapidly; </li> </ul> <p>We are the most popular way to find a private student loan for the world's top graduate programs, and we're looking for a team to help the financial aid offices understand the value we bring to students and families.</p> <h2><strong>The Problem</strong></h2> <p>Federal lending reforms have created a significant market shift. In July 2026, new caps on federal graduate loans, including the elimination of Grad PLUS for new students, came into effect, leaving millions of students with significant funding gaps. Students need transparent, competitive private options — exactly what Juno provides.</p> <p> </p> <p>When a student hits that gap, they may ask a financial aid administrator. If that administrator has never heard of Juno, the student may never hear about us either.</p> <h2><strong>Your mission</strong></h2> <p>We're seeking up to fourteen Regional Directors, each owning one territory. Your job is to (i) ensure the administrators are aware about Juno, (ii) trust Juno enough that their students are also made aware about Juno (through numerous means such as direct mention by an administrator, getting Juno listed as a resource on a school's website, into a school's webinar calendar, and/or admitted student and current student communications). We expect you to thoroughly evaluate Juno to ensure you understand us deeply, so you can answer any questions about Juno, how we operate and the outcomes our members have. </p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>What you'll do</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>Own a territory:</strong> Every financial aid office in it, and every relationship inside those offices. You build the plan, set the calendar, manage your budget and deliver results.</li> <li><strong>Build Relationships:</strong> Juno has tremendous value to add in the form of financial education and better loan products. Our model is different and we are not a lender. It can take time to gain full understanding and buy-in from the financial aid community. Keep showing up as a trustworthy voice.</li> <li><strong>Live in your associations:</strong> Membership, exhibiting, sessions, listservs, volunteer roles. This profession decides who's credible in person.</li> <li><strong>Get on campus:</strong> Conferences introduce; visits close. Six to eight campus swings a year.</li> <li><strong>Deliver webinars:</strong> Deliver institutional sessions from the standard deck. You don't have to write it, but you do have to practice it and run it like you did.</li> <li><strong>Keep your CRM true:</strong> Named contact, last touch, next step, on every active account. If it isn't in the CRM, it didn't happen.</li> <li><strong>Feed intel back:</strong> What competitors are offering, what's changing on campus, what students are actually asking. Product and marketing need it to help you succeed </li> </ul> <p><strong>Support our members: During peak borrowing season it’s all-hands-on-deck to ensure Juno members receive timely answers, 1:1 support, and the best customer service in the sector! You’ll likely be tapped to support member communications during peak.</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Use AI as a multiplier:</strong> Institution research, RFI drafts, call prep, follow-up. Faster work, and you catch it when it's wrong.</li> </ul> <h2><strong>What We Offer</strong></h2> <p><strong>Compensation:</strong> $115,000 - $165,000 per year.</p> <p><strong>Benefits:</strong> Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and 401(k) matching.</p> <h2><strong>What We're Looking For</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>Background:</strong> 3+ years in financial aid administration, student lending sales, higher education partnerships, or a closely related role serving students. Having strong relationships within the financial aid/higher education sector is a must. Time in a financial aid office is valuable.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Ability to Prioritize: Understand where to focus your time and energy.</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Consultative patience:</strong> A listing / webinar etc. can take several touches and time to establish trust. </li> <li><strong>You can present:</strong> To a room of aid administrators and to a room of students, on the same trip.</li> <li><strong>You can write:</strong> RFI and RFP responses are ho
