Leland is building the home for ambition in the age of AI. We connect people with the experts, programs, and communities they need to land the job, get into the school, or upskill for a world being rewritten by AI. We help businesses become AI-native through training, hiring, and infrastructure. Since our founding in 2021, we've helped tens of thousands of people reach their most ambitious goals and raised $19M from world-class investors. Ambition is sacred to us, and we've built a product that takes that seriously.

We're seeking an experienced startup careers coach to work with students and professionals pursuing careers at startups. This role includes helping candidates apply AI fundamentals and AI automation to their work, as well as conducting competitive analysis to evaluate potential companies and opportunities.

Ideal candidates have professional experience working at or advising startups, prior coaching or mentoring experience, and a clear, structured approach to helping candidates navigate the fast-paced startup hiring landscape. Coaches set their own hours and rates, host sessions virtually, and partner with our team to deliver a high-quality, supportive experience for every student.
