About Guild:

Guild partners with the country's largest employers to offer education and coaching as a benefit to their employees. Our coaches are at the heart of that mission — they're the human connection that helps working adults navigate real change in their lives. We support learners who are balancing jobs, families, and school, often for the first time, and our coaches make the difference between someone giving up and someone crossing the finish line by deploying empathy, accountability, and career services.

We're growing our coaching team and looking for experienced coaches (career and executive coaches) who are ready to bring their full practices to a mission-driven environment—and who want to do so at scale.

The Role:

As a Senior Guild Coach, you'll carry a caseload of learners enrolled through our employer partners, partnering with them to identify and accomplish goals that align with their academic and career aspirations. You'll bring your full coaching toolkit — advanced techniques, cultural competency, and a bias toward learner empowerment — while also contributing to the broader coaching team as a collaborator.

This is a role for coaches who are entrepreneurial by nature: people who've built or run their own practice, who don't need to be managed closely, and who are energized by figuring out what approaches to deploy to maximize the number of learners served annually. You'll be joining a team that's actively evolving — integrating AI-augmented coaching tools, refining how we measure impact, and pushing the boundaries of what it means to coach at scale without sacrificing quality.

What You'll Do:

Coach learners with depth and consistency

• Partner with learners to identify, refine, and accomplish goals aligned with their academic and career aspirations, using advanced coaching techniques and strategies
• Approach every conversation with a culturally aware lens, adapting your coaching practice to each learner's needs, values, preferences, and identity
• Manage your assigned caseload with strong organization and consistent outreach, ensuring no learner falls through the cracks
• Maintain accurate records of coaching sessions, learner progress, and outcomes to enable proactive, personalized support
• Continually develop and apply best practices that improve the experience — especially for our most under-resourced learners

Drive engagement and retention through smart use of data and tools

• Use tools and data to develop scalable strategies that generate high learner engagement and persistence
• Balance caseload management with broader leadership contributions across the department

Strengthen the coaching department through insights and expertise

• Collaborate with coaching leadership and cross-functional teams to identify trends and opportunities for process improvement
• Contribute to department-wide initiatives that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of Guild Coaching
• Stay current on industry trends and best practices; bring outside perspective into how we coach

What We're Looking For:

Experience

• 3+ years of career coaching and/or executive coaching experience or 500+ hours of coaching experience
• Demonstrable track record supporting diverse, non-traditional clients — with the ability to adjust style and tactics to meet unique needs and support learner persistence
• Proven history of positive learner/client outcomes, with high goal achievement and strong feedback
• Experience collaborating with department or cross-functional leadership on strategic initiatives
• Proven track record of mentoring or coaching peers to success

Mindset and working style

• Possesses an independent, entrepreneurial spirit, potentially from managing a personal coaching practice; excels with high levels of autonomy and minimal supervision.
• Strong work ethic with personal accountability for performance and continuous improvement as both a leader and a coach: able to learn new skills, self-monitor, and self-correct
• Strong communication skills: able to give clear, actionable feedback and share ideas concisely
• Comfortable influencing at all levels, with strong stakeholder management and experience partnering with peers and leaders
• Committed to building equitable and inclusive environments for both learners and colleagues

Logistics

• Available to work 40 hours/week on a consistent basis
• Available for early Mountain Time shift (7am–4 pm MT) or late Mountain Time shift (11am–8 pm MT) — this is a firm requirement to serve our working adult learners
• US-based; we are intentionally building a geographically distributed team and welcome applicants from all regions

Additional Considerations

• Coaching or Career Services certification (preferred, not required)
• Experience with coaching in a tech-enabled or high-volume environment
• Familiarity with adult learner populations, workforce education, or career mobility programs

Why Guild:

• Mission that's tangible: you'll see and feel your impact on real people navigating real change
• A coaching team that takes craft seriously — we invest in your development and your ideas matter
• A dynamic environment with evolving tools, including AI-augmented coaching support, so you can focus your energy where it counts most
• Competitive compensation and benefits
• Flexibility to work remotely from anywhere in the US

We are committed to equal pay for equal work and believe in compensation transparency. All salary ranges are standardized nationwide and will not vary by region. This role offers a competitive total compensation package, including an hourly rate (non-negotiable) of $34.10 per hour, annual bonus potential and company stock options.
