Job description

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 sports coach to work with athletes looking to level up their performance, as well as aspiring coaches looking to break into coaching themselves. This role includes guiding athletes through sport-specific skills, strength and conditioning, mental toughness, and injury prevention to help them train smarter and perform at a higher level. For those pursuing coaching as a career, coaches also provide guidance on coaching philosophy and program design, team management, and certification requirements needed to coach at various levels. Additional support includes resume review, interview prep, and networking strategy to help aspiring coaches land the right role and build connections in the field. Ideal candidates have professional athletic or coaching experience, prior mentoring experience, and a clear, structured approach to helping both athletes and aspiring coaches reach their goals. Coaches set their own hours and rates, host sessions virtually, and partner with our team to deliver a high-quality, supportive experience for every client.
