Program and Administrative Assistant
Verto Education
Administration
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Posted on Jan 28, 2026
Verto is on a mission to provide the best possible start to college for traditional students. We begin by making travel and experiential education a core part of every student’s first year. Our participants start college overseas in one of five Verto locations and take fully accredited in-person classes from our Academic Provider, the University of New Haven. After completing 1-3 semesters with Verto, participants seamlessly transfer to one of 40+ partner universities in the United States. Along the way, participants become more mature, empathetic global citizens who have a greater sense of purpose and direction for their lives.
At Verto, we’re creating a different model. We’re driving the costs down and acceptance rates up. We connect participants to the world and give them a chance to discover who they are before making them choose a major. We’re out to build a transformational company that makes higher education more accessible and impactful. We are backed by First Round Capital and other top VCs.
We are seeking a highly organized and proactive Program and Administrative Assistant to join our team in Buenos Aires. This role is essential for maintaining smooth daily operations, providing a welcoming presence at reception, and offering critical administrative support to our academic and student success programs. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, adaptable, and possesses excellent interpersonal skills. This is a Part-Time role for the 15 week Spring Semester.
