This role is for someone who loves connecting with students one-on-one — and is energized by the operational work it takes to do that for thousands of them every year.
We're Skillify. We run career workshops and mentorship programs that help students figure out what they want to do with their lives. We've reached thousands of students across 220+ schools — and we're just getting started.
What you'll actually do
You'll be the coach students text when they're stuck, scared, or celebrating. You're their hype person, their accountability partner, and sometimes just the person who believes in them when no one else does. Across the year you'll be in active conversation with thousands of students at once — so the role is part 1:1 connection, part virtual coach, part operator running the backbone of the program.
On-site at conferences (2 days/week)
- Support full-day career workshops at schools across California and Nevada (typically 7AM – 3PM PT)
- Connect with students 1:1 and in groups — you're approachable, memorable, someone they trust
- Travel to school sites, sometimes 3+ hours each way, with some overnight travel 2x/month
Behind the scenes (the rest of the week)
- Coach students 1:1 virtually via text — we promise students personalized support 9AM – 8PM PT every day (Monday – Sunday). Team members rotate shifts so everyone gets two consecutive days off each week.
- Manage relationships at scale — keeping hundreds of student conversations active across SMS, email, and our internal tools at any given time
- Run the operational backbone: scheduling, tracking, onboarding new schools and students, conducting progress calls with teachers
- Work with AI tools that handle the busywork so you can focus on the human stuff
- Whatever else needs doing — we're a startup, roles flex
You're right for this if…
- You light up around students. You genuinely enjoy young people and want to help them win.
- You're reliable and organized. When you say you'll do something, it happens. People trust you and you keep yourself organized well.
- You're relationship-oriented. You remember details. You follow up. You make people feel seen.
- You're an optimistic problem-solver. Things break, plans change, students ghost. You stay positive and adapt.
- You're excited to travel. School visits, conferences, events — you want to be in the room, not just behind a screen.
