Head of Admissions and Placement Division

Our impact company is looking for a Head of the Continuing Studies Division with a strong commercial temperament, an appetite for digital and teaching, and the desire to contribute concretely to the professional integration of our learners.

Rocket School is a next-generation marketing and sales school. Born out of the Social and Solidarity Economy, the school is free, recruits on personality, trains in an ultra-operational way and places its students. It offers both career-change programmes and classic higher education programmes.

Its teaching is strongly inspired by the Montessori method and learning by doing. We have a success rate of 94%.

Reporting to the National Management, you lead the admissions and placement activity of our learners in Bachelor 3 and Master of Science.
