Our fundamental belief at Freudigman & Billings is that children learn best in the context of supportive relationships. We are committed to helping students better understand how they learn and how they can take ownership of that learning. Our team provides educational solutions for adolescents and children through individual assessment, personally tailored learning programs, and one-on-one coaching.
Freudigman & Billings seeks a Client Engagement Associate to join our Client Services team. The Client Engagement Associate is a critical member of the team, responsible for creating a seamless experience for students, families, and instructors while ensuring the daily operations of our center run smoothly.
The Client Engagement Associate serves as a primary point of contact for families and students and plays a key role in coordinating onboarding, communication, scheduling and administrative processes. This position requires exceptional organizational skills, strong judgment, and the ability to manage complex details with accuracy and professionalism.
The ideal candidate enjoys solving puzzles. Whether it is finding the right scheduling solution, balancing competing priorities, or anticipating the needs of students, families, and instructors, this role requires someone who enjoys making complex pieces fit together. Think Sudoku, Tetris, or chess — success comes from seeing the big picture while managing the smallest details.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys learning new technology, creates efficiency wherever possible, and understands that client service in an educational setting is far more complex than transactional scheduling.

- Assist with facility coordination, including communication with the landlord and supporting day-to-day office operations as needed.
- Maintain strict confidentiality of all student and family information.
