Job description for Partnerships & Business Development Consultant – Study Abroad (Australia) at Ruang Impian Global
About Us
Ruang Impian Global helps Indonesian students turn their dream of studying abroad into reality. We specialize in connecting students with top Australian institutions, and we’re expanding our network of college, university, and language-center partners across Indonesia to grow our footprint and student pipeline.
Job Summary
Ruang Impian Global is expanding its network of college, university, and language-center partners across Indonesia to help more students pursue their dream of studying in Australia.
We’re looking for a driven Partnerships and Business Development consultant to build and grow strategic partnerships with Indonesian colleges, universities, and language centers — turning them into consistent referral pipelines for students pursuing higher education in Australia. This is a relationship-first, target-driven role with uncapped earning potential: on top of your base salary, you’ll earn commission on every student who converts through your partner network. The bigger your network and the stronger your relationships, the bigger your payout.
What You’ll Do
• Identify, approach, and onboard colleges, universities, and language centers as referral/agency partners across Indonesia
• Build and manage a pipeline of institutional partnerships, from first contact through signed MOU/agency agreement
• Represent Ruang Impian Global at education fairs, campus events, and partner meetings
• Develop and nurture long-term relationships with academic counselors, principals, and international office staff
• Drive student referrals from partner institutions and track them through to enrollment — this is where your commission is earned
• Hand off referred students smoothly to our in-house counseling/admissions team, who manage everything on the Australia side
• Report on partnership growth and referral performance to leadership
What We’re Looking For
• Minimum 2 years of experience in education consultancy, study-abroad agency, international student recruitment, or institutional partnerships (education sector strongly preferred)
• Proven track record of building B2B relationships or partnership pipelines — not just student-facing counseling experience
• Strong negotiation and relationship-management skills; comfortable pitching to school principals and decision-makers
• Excellent communication in Bahasa Indonesia and English (spoken and written)
• Willingness to travel within Indonesia for partner visits and education fairs
• Self-starter who’s motivated by targets and commission, and can work independently to hit them
Nice to Have
• Existing network of contacts in Indonesian education institutions or language centers
• Prior experience at a study-abroad or education consultancy in Surabaya or East Java
• Experience with CRM tools for pipeline tracking
• Prior experience working with Australian education agents, universities, or immigration consultants
