Position Overview
​
This is not your first rodeo. You’ve been around the nexus of business and people transformation for a long time. You’ve likely been a successful entrepreneur in the past and can bring a business leader mindset to the Head of Coaching role.
You’ll be a fit for the role if you know what “teal” means and are familiar with spiral dynamics - but you also know how to talk to a CEO like an actual human who has sh*t to get done and immediate business problems to solve.

As the Head of Coaching at Guided, you’ll be a bit like the headmaster at Hogwarts. You will be responsible for coaching/leadership product development (currently 1-1 + group coaching, coach skills training), content and service delivery and a key contributor to developing sales and marketing strategy. You aren’t responsible for running sales but you’ve never been afraid of a sales call. You know your way around a marketing and product plan and can execute in short cycles and iterate. You’re practical, great at creating thorough structures and plans, wonderful at enrolling others to join you, and will carry it out with responsiveness, thoughtfulness, and a high degree of quality.
​
This role is full-time and the ideal candidate will be based in the Denver/Boulder area with our CEO, CFO, and VP of Marketing & Ops. There is a high degree of remote work flexibility. Exceptional candidates in other locations will be considered.
