About Pursuit

Pursuit is a social impact organization building the future of economic mobility in the age of AI.

For over a decade, we've transformed lives through immersive training programs that propel adults from low-income backgrounds — often without college degrees — into high-growth tech careers. Our graduates have already generated nearly $1 billion in lifetime wage gains. We've also pioneered the Pursuit Bond, an innovative outcomes-based financing model that aligns investor returns with long-term economic mobility, allowing us to scale impact in a financially sustainable way.

Now, as AI reshapes every industry, Pursuit is evolving into an AI-native organization. We're training AI-native talent, embedding AI into our operations, and building scalable software to extend our impact. From grassroots partnerships to national policy, we're not just filling jobs — we're rethinking how economic opportunity works at scale.

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.

Key Responsibilities

• Own job placement as your core KPI - you are responsible for the outcome, not just the coaching input, and you proactively problem-solve whatever stands between a Builder and a job offer
• Coach Builders on the skills needed to run an effective job search, leading both 1:1 sessions and group programming
• Help Builders define their career goals and target roles to focus their search and maximize fit

• Help Builders identify and refine the AI Builds that will comprise their portfolios, giving direct feedback to ensure the work will appeal to employers
• Advise Pursuit on the bar for job-ready application materials and coaching practices, helping design and scale an increasingly AI-native career coaching function
• This role will not follow Pursuit's standard 10am–6pm schedule — Builders need coaching support across Day and Nights & Weekends cohorts, so your hours will be shifted to meet them where they are (for example, working later Monday–Thursday). We'll...
