About the role

Leads new business operations in NYC, focusing on launching two training programs and a direct employment pathway, with a startup-internal playbook approach to scale Emerge Career’s workforce development programs.

Responsibilities

  • Launching programs. Take two training programs from R&D to their first students, and build the direct employment pathway from scratch.
  • Employer partnerships. Find the employers who will hire our graduates, close them, and keep them hiring.
  • Working with students. Support a small group of students yourself so you see where the process breaks before it scales.
  • Writing the playbook. Document what works so other operators can run it and engineers can turn it into product.
  • Building your own tools. If you need a campaign, an automation, or a dashboard, you build it.
  • Tracking. Enrollment, completion, placement and time to hire. You report weekly on what's working and what isn't.

Qualifications

  • - You've been a founder, a consultant, or one of the first 10 people at an early-stage startup.
  • - You have a track record of serving people directly, through teaching, volunteering, coaching or social work.
  • - You love Claude and Claude Code, and you can show us something you built with them.
  • - You're willing to work in person in Harlem, New York City.
