Academia Coach

About Leland

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 academia coach to work with students and early-career professionals navigating higher education and academic career paths. This role includes helping clients strengthen resumes and cover letters, preparing them for interviews, and guiding them through networking and promotion strategies within academic institutions.

Coaches also support curriculum development, classroom management best practices, and higher education administration guidance, while conducting student assessments to tailor advice to each client's goals. Ideal candidates have direct experience in higher education or academic administration, prior coaching or mentoring experience, and a clear, structured approach to helping clients build the skills needed to advance.

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.
