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

What You Will Be Doing

• Carry out 1:1 coaching sessions with student founders focusing on strategy, execution, and growth—approximately two-thirds of your time.
• Analyze student dashboards, venture updates, and academic records to assess progress and clarify next steps.
• Track academic performance and intervene early when necessary, addressing issues such as attention or organizational skills.
• Create and deliver workshops with tangible, applied-learning outcomes.
• Organize stand-ups, debriefs, and group check-ins to reinforce student accountability to their own objectives.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Offer general mentorship or motivational speeches without concrete follow-up actions.
• Handle student operations such as scheduling, documentation, or enrollment tasks.
• Attend lengthy faculty meetings or manage institutional red tape (your focus remains on direct student impact).

• Authorized to work legally in the United States.

Nice-to-have Requirements
