Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Lead the strategic vision and daily operations of Interview Kickstart’s Career Transformation division, owning end-to-end learner success from enrollment to six-figure job placement and beyond.
• Build, mentor, and scale a distributed team of 20+ career coaches, resume writers, interview trainers, and alumni success managers located across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific time zones.
• Translate complex labor-market data into actionable roadmaps that keep our curriculum and coaching methodologies six months ahead of industry demand, ensuring every graduate is hired at or above their target compensation.
• Design and continuously refine a data-driven learner journey that integrates AI-powered mock interviews, personalized skill-gap analysis, salary-negotiation simulations, and peer-to-peer accountability groups.
• Partner with engineering, product, and data science teams to embed real-time analytics into our platform, enabling coaches to intervene early when a learner’s engagement or assessment scores dip.
• Own the P&L for career services, forecasting quarterly revenue tied to placement outcomes, optimizing CAC-to-LTV ratios, and presenting board-level updates on ROI and learner NPS.
• Establish and nurture relationships with 300+ hiring partners—from seed-stage startups to FAANG giants—creating exclusive pipelines, referral bonuses, and alumni hiring loops that generate 60% of all job offers.
• Spearhead diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that increase representation of women, veterans, and under-represented minorities in senior engineering roles, tracking progress through transparent dashboards.
• Launch a thought-leadership program that positions Interview Kickstart as the definitive voice in tech career acceleration: webinars, whitepapers, conference keynotes, and podcast appearances that collectively reach 1 M+ professionals annually.
• Implement a continuous feedback loop with graduates, collecting qualitative stories and quantitative metrics to refine every touchpoint—from onboarding surveys to 90-day post-placement check-ins.
• Create scalable playbooks, SOPs, and certification paths that allow new coaches to ramp to full productivity within 30 days while maintaining a 4.8/5 average learner satisfaction score.
• Collaborate with marketing to craft compelling case studies and ROI testimonials that fuel top-of-funnel growth, driving a 3× increase in qualified applications quarter-over-quarter.
• Champion a culture of experimentation, running A/B tests on coaching formats (1:1 vs. group vs. async), pricing models, and alumni subscription tiers to unlock new revenue streams.
• Ensure compliance with global employment and education regulations, including GDPR, CCPA, and state-specific career-services laws, working closely with legal and finance teams.
• Serve as the executive escalation point for high-stakes learner issues—visa complexities, offer renegotiations, or sensitive HR conflicts—resolving 95% of cases within 48 hours.
• Foster an internal community of practice where coaches share cutting-edge tactics, peer-review session recordings, and collectively raise the bar for what “world-class” career transformation looks like.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of progressive leadership experience in tech career services, talent development, or high-growth ed-tech, with at least 3 years managing distributed teams.
• Demonstrated track record of placing senior software engineers and engineering managers at top-tier companies, evidenced by verifiable offer letters and compensation data.
• Deep fluency in modern tech stacks (cloud, AI/ML, distributed systems) and the hiring criteria used by FAANG and unicorn startups.
• Data-obsessed mindset: advanced proficiency in SQL, Tableau, or similar BI tools to extract insights from learner and market data.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills, able to influence C-suite executives, hiring managers, and cross-functional product teams alike.
• Nice-to-have: MBA or Master’s in Organizational Psychology, ICF or EMCC coaching certification, and prior P&L ownership exceeding $5 M ARR.

🏖️ Benefits

• Fully remote-first culture with quarterly off-sites in destinations like Lisbon, Bali, or Mexico City.
• Competitive base salary plus uncapped performance bonus tied to learner placement outcomes.
• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents.
• Annual $3,000 learning stipend for conferences, courses, or coaching certifications.
