About Manifest Global Manifest Global is building the infrastructure for global human capital mobility - connecting students, schools, universities, and employers across 50+ countries. Our portfolio spans Cialfo (AI-powered college counseling, 2,000+ schools), BridgeU (university guidance for international schools globally), Kaaiser (trusted study abroad counseling across India and Southeast Asia), and Explore (AI-powered university outreach, 1,000+ university partners). Together, we move talent across borders at scale. $80M raised. Still early. What This Role Is AI agents — systems that reason, plan, take action across tools, and complete real work end-to-end — have moved from research demos to production infrastructure in the last eighteen months. The companies that build them well will define the next decade of what software is and what people do. Manifest Global sits at one of the most operationally complex intersections in the world. Every day, our platforms move students between continents, counselors between conversations, applications between deadlines, universities between recruiting cycles, and agents between thousands of families making generational decisions. The work is high-stakes, high-volume, and full of judgment calls — exactly the kind of work that breaks under brittle automation and exactly the kind of work AI agents, built properly, can transform. That is the bet behind this role. Not chatbots. Not wrappers. Agents that actually do the work — drafting university shortlists with reasoning a counselor would defend, surfacing the right student profile to the right admissions officer, catching the document that's about to make an application fail before a human sees it. Agents that hold context across long workflows. Agents that know when to escalate and when to keep going. Agents that get measurably better as more of the network uses them. You will build those agents across the Manifest portfolio, in production, at a scale that matters. What Makes T
