Let’s grow together. 

At Ad Astra, we’re building a culture where innovative and amazing people (like you!) can do their best work with passion, energy, and mission. We strive to hear different voices, gain new perspectives, and foster a place of belonging for all team members. Your personal and professional growth is just as important to us as our business growth. Ad Astra teammates not only thrive in our culture, they help shape it.

Benefits, perks, and fun.

Because life and work intertwine, Ad Astra offers people-first flexibility. That is why you may see a team member leaving early because they’re running carpool or picking up a family member from the airport. We’re also competitive when it comes to employee compensation. It’s evident in our healthcare and 401K plans, our generous parental leave, and very flexible paid time off.

“One of the most important things about the Ad Astra experience is watching people embrace the idea that work can become something fun, fulfilling, and help you understand who you are.”

Tom Shaver, Founder & CEO

Maizey the office dog loves the days people are in the office in our hybrid work schedule and knows who she can depend on for a belly rub or treat. Centrally located in downtown Overland Park, KS, our office provides easy access to restaurants and shops.

We offer a range of perks focused on the well being of team members. These "perks with a purpose" include standing desks, massage days, quiet spaces, and a "Magic Fridge" with healthy (and the occasionally not-so-healthy) snacks and drinks.

We recognize talent.

We recognize and appreciate the unique God-given talents that our people bring to Ad Astra. Aligning these individual gifts with our work sets team members up to succeed.

We’re unpretentious.

There’s no room for ego. We admit our imperfections and have the humility to know what we don’t know.

We’re passionate.

We aren’t satisfied with the status quo. We’re on a mission together to protect the value of degree completion and to help transform the higher education industry. 

“There's nothing more gratifying than working with people that are as passionate as you are. That builds camaraderie and a sense of belonging. It creates a positive culture.”

Sarah Collins, President & Chief Strategy Officer

We’re pioneering.

We’re pioneering and aren’t afraid to fail – in fact, we celebrate it. We love it when our people boldly experiment with innovative solutions. 

We love fun.

The health of our relationships is strengthened by working with people who stretch our thinking—and by enjoying the lighter side of life together. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we do take fun seriously.

We have grit.

Beyond talent and intelligence, our people have stick-to-itiveness. We push through challenges to make goals a reality.
