The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Program Success Lead who genuinely loves working with people.

At its core, this role is about human connection. You’ll spend most of your day engaging directly with students, building relationships, and supporting them through an important career transition. If you naturally bring empathy, curiosity, and encouragement into conversations, you’ll thrive here.

This is a highly student-facing role where your impact comes from being proactive, present, and invested in each student’s journey. Through phone calls, SMS, and email, you’ll help students stay motivated, build strong habits, and navigate challenges.

We’re looking for someone with strong emotional intelligence who can meet students where they are, whether they need accountability, encouragement, or a reset, and help them move forward with clarity and confidence.

If you’re energized by building trust quickly and turning conversations into real progress, this role will feel both natural and rewarding.
