About the Role

As Braven embarks on an ambitious journey to empower 80,000-100,000 Fellows within the coming decade, we seek a dedicated Program Facilitator to ensure the impeccable delivery of the Braven Accelerator experience. In this pivotal role, you'll be instrumental in nurturing the academic prowess and career ascension of our Fellows. Your mission is simple yet impactful: to spearhead the success of our fully remote Leadership and Career Accelerator course (Accelerator), helping our Fellows to soar to new professional heights.

As a Program Facilitator, you will have the unique opportunity to pilot a new version of one of Braven’s most critical roles.

Reporting to the Director, Accelerator Program Success, you will be a central figure in shaping how Braven continues to transform as it continues to grow and serve more Fellows.

What You’ll Do

In this dynamic role, you will serve as the face of Braven for Fellows (i.e. students) and Leadership Coaches (i.e. mentors) across your assigned portfolio of colleges and universities. Your core mission is to leverage your strong public speaking, presentation, and engagement skills to remotely facilitate and deliver the Braven Accelerator course and drive the academic and professional excellence of our Fellows.

You will also work with a team to ensure that every aspect of the course experience maintains the highest quality standards for our Leadership Coaches (LCs), Coaching Partners, and Graders—each of whom also plays a vital role in our Fellows' journey. You’ll work closely with your team to share learnings about your role (challenges, barriers, etc.) as we continue iterating on the scope of work for this new team and the operational and data systems needed to make this work even more successful.
