College Counselor, US K-12 School
São Paulo, Brazil (Hybrid) · Contractor (PJ) Full-Time · English Required, Portuguese Not Required
This is not a teaching or clinical counseling position. It is a college admissions and career guidance role requiring direct experience counseling inside a US-accredited or American curriculum school. Candidates from ESL programs, bilingual schools, or Brazilian curriculum environments, even at the coordination or leadership level, are unlikely to meet the baseline for this position and will not be considered.
