About the role

Pursuit is hiring a Career Coach to guide Builders through one of the highest-stakes phases of their journey: the job search. This role owns a single core outcome — Builders getting hired — and does whatever it takes within that mandate: coaching networks and search strategy, sharpening how Builders present themselves, and pushing continuously on what "job-ready" means in a fast-changing market. This isn't a support function; you are accountable for the placement outcome itself.

What they're looking for

  • You're passionate about Pursuit's mission and have experience — or strong interest — working directly with adults from underserved communities
  • You have real familiarity with today's job market, ideally through experience on the hiring side (recruiting, talent acquisition, HR, or as a hiring manager/team lead)
  • You understand what it takes to land a role in today's job market and can speak to the nuances across different career paths
  • You're energized by coaching and professional development — you know how to inspire people toward their highest standard of work
  • You're data-driven and outcomes-oriented, comfortable using systems to track progress at scale and to spot where coaching needs to flex
  • You give feedback that's constructive, specific, and actionable — written and verbal — and you know how to motivate people from a wide range of backgrounds
