Career Coach
About this role
To achieve our ambitious vision, we’re seeking a Talent Manager / Career Coach. Your mission will be to ensure that all of our success training participants get world-class jobs. After they graduate from our rigorous 4-month training program and passed our intense vetting, you will support them during their job hunt. This includes teaching them about the process of reaching out to companies, connecting them to mentors to help them prepare for interviews, coaching them when they get nervous, and working closely with our sales team to make excellent matches between our participants and our hiring partners.
In addition, you will continuously explore innovative ways to scale this process. Imagine a future in which the Middle East & North Africa has a thriving economy with unlimited job opportunities. It all starts with placing 100 software engineers in the next 12 months. How might we go from 100 per year to 1,000 per year, without growing our team? We are an early-stage startup with a 6-person team which means we have a lot of leeway to shape our roles to best fit our individual interests.
If you see a different way you’d like to contribute to our team, please get in touch. Note: Diverse candidates often screen themselves out of job applications if they don’t have all the qualifications. Please apply if you’re excited about the role - we’d love to see your application! People/service-oriented: In this role you will be closely working with 40+ job hunters at all given times. You love working with people directly & serving them with excellence.
Coaching acumen: People trust you and your guidance. You listen closely, have high empathy, and can help them figure out what’s best for them. You encourage & champion them. Enthusiasm for tech/software engineers: You will be supporting software engineers with their job hunt. Thus, you should love spending time with software engineers, and not be scared of technology terms. For example, you will need to learn what technical skills are similar (e.g., Javascript and Typescript) so that you can make good matches between our participants and our hiring partners.
Execution/project management: As a small startup, we depend heavily on each person to be reliable and effective. You get things done efficiently and accurately, with little need for supervision. You can set up the systems you need to track the 40+ job hunters you are supporting and remember what needs to be done. Collaboration/team player: You can work effectively with other people at Manara. For example, you partner closely with our sales leader who manages our hiring partner network to make matches between our participants and companies.
