Entrepreneurship Coach, Alpha - $150,000/year USD

What You Will Be Doing

• Providing 1:1 coaching to student founders on strategic decisions, execution challenges, and business growth — approximately two-thirds of your weekly hours
• Leveraging student performance dashboards, venture updates, and academic records to assess progress and set actionable priorities
• Tracking academic results and stepping in proactively when concentration or organizational skills decline
• Designing and delivering workshops that produce tangible, applied skill development
• Facilitating stand-ups, reflective sessions, and group conversations that reinforce student accountability to their commitments

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Conducting traditional lectures or adhering to a fixed curriculum (you enable hands-on learning, not conventional classroom teaching)
• Offering general mentorship or inspirational guidance without concrete follow-up actions
• Handling administrative tasks related to students — appointment scheduling, documentation, or registration processes
• Attending routine faculty meetings or dealing with institutional bureaucracy (your focus remains on direct student engagement)
